I am the wildflower

growing unattended

along the chain-link

in ditches and gutters

through cracks in the sidewalk

in riotous bloom

wherever you find me

Five women explore self-expression, love and loss, raising families, and growing older with grace, anger, honesty, and power.

Featuring poetry and short stories from Michelle Lee, Jonielle McMurtrey, Bree Indigo, Dakoda Foxx, and Jennifer DiMarco, Rise Reclamation is a raw, authentic collection where five women become one and speak to us all.

Proceeds from this volume will be donated to S. T. E. A. M. (Science Technology Engineering Art Math) projects for girls and young women sponsored by the 501(c)3 nonprofit Blue Forge Group.
