I really enjoyed this book. The rhythm and flow of these poems is just immaculate. The whole time I was reading this, it felt like someone was talking directly to me. I have highlight marks and sticky tabs on just about every single page.
One of my main takeaways from this book is learning how to slow down, to unload every once in a while. To set healthy boundaries and learn to say no to things that aren't meant for you. Also, that healing takes time. There is no race to the finish line. We all have our own paths and destinies, and we'll each arrive when it's our time.
If you're feeling burnt-out or feeling like there is too much going on right now, I highly recommend taking some time to yourself, as well as giving this book a read. I think there is something for everyone in here.
It is clear to me that Cay has put in the work to heal herself. Now, she wants to help others heal, and I think this book will do exactly that. I can't wait to see what wlse she has in store!

Book Review: Ashes Over Dust by Cailyn (Cay) Kelly
⚫️Cailyn (Cay) Kelly's Ashes Over Dust is a stunning raw and uplifting body of poetry that speaks to the heart and soul. Composed as a memoir of her journey of healing and spiritual awakening, these poems create a powerful safe space for self-reflection, self-love, and personal transformation.
⚫️What distinguishes this collection as truly remarkable is the profoundly meditative nature of the poems. Every piece, created out of silence and introspection, is at once a personal epiphany and a universal lesson in perseverance, transformation, and emotional recovery. Kelly's prose is tender but wise, inviting readers to accept their own path with kindness and strength.
⚫️Aside from poetry, Ashes Over Dust is a call—to take a moment, to reconnect with one's self, and to derive strength from vulnerability. It encourages a feeling of community in healing, letting us know we are never solitary in our defeat or victory.
⚫️To those looking for comfort, inspiration, or deeper connection with oneself, this book is an absolute must-read. It's a testament to the beauty of change and the power of words to heal.
Happy reading ❤️✨
