Steady Flame: Poems on Grief, Healing, and Quiet Strength

by Roxanne Powell

What does it mean to keep going when everything feels uncertain?

Steady Flame explores grief, healing, and the quiet strength that forms in their wake. These poems move from confusion and loss toward renewal, grounding themselves in the physical—breath, movement, and the body’s ability to endure.

This collection offers a gentle but powerful even in the midst of change, something steady remains.
