Find Your Fucking Fire: Poems on Embracing Anger for Social Change
Where the fuck did the fire go, and how do we get it back?
For too long, our anger has been buried, dismissed, or punished. Find Your Fucking Fire invites you to reclaim anger as a source of healing, connection, and revolution, serving both as a practical toolkit and a rallying cry to transform rage into power.
Rooted in poetry with interwoven personal stories, reflections, and writing prompts, these verses dismantle the myth that anger is dangerous or unjustified, showing how it fuels liberation. You will discover how anger is suppressed, ways to uncover it in your body, practices for embracing its many forms, and opportunities to express it fully. You will also unearth methods for channeling anger toward meaningful social change, especially if you have lived on the margins where anger has too often been pathologized or punished.

Step into the intersectional world of a queer and interracial family navigating love, identity, and community in rural North Carolina. Mosaic Hearts is more than a poetry collection.

Periodic reflective pauses invite you to consider your own experiences, sparking healing, growth, and a deeper sense of connectedness. This collection calls you to feel, to connect, and to believe in the transformative power of love, inspiring social change while building community.
