The poems you will read in Poetic Embers will stir old memories, bring light to new experiences and walk with you as a new day begins…and if you’re not careful, the heartbeat you hear when lost among these fabulous thoughts, ideas and collected phrases, might just be your own.

 

I could have loved you forever,
but I couldn't love alone.

A chapbook of 45 pieces on loss and love.

 

Madalyn Beck invites you to peer into yourself while delving into her latest collection of poetry. Her poems are a fantastical introspection, inviting you to remember who you were and telling you who you could yet be. Her beautifully lyrical prose glimpses beyond the harsh truth of everyday life and reminds us that the world isn’t just how we see it; it’s what we make it. Life is more than survival; it’s a human experience that often seems otherworldly until we step beyond the boundaries set by convention and realize that we are each greater than the sum of our trials.
