Voice of a Wildfire is Janine Tamis' debut poetry and quote book portraying themes related to the ups and downs of life with poems about Fear & Courage, Falling & Rising, and Scars & Resilience. It is her honest words, and they hold the hope of many voices coming together in showing that we are not alone. She is a mental health advocate and hopes her words inspire others to share their stories, and to show that there is power in vulnerability.
I love finding local gems and this was written by an author from a town near me, of very similar age to me, powerful and raw, I enjoyed flipping through this and connecting to the poems. I enjoyed that she shares her poetry online, following her page on Instagram before her book came out. I like that they were about hurt and healing, but also about self love. I see this book as a great inspiration to what I am going through right now.
I admire those who have the talent and creative mind to write such beautiful and meaningful words. I finished this book in a few days which I could have done in one. If you want some real honest truth and encouragement this is a must read.
I deeply adored this book. Janine has a way of uplifting the soul in places I couldn't or dared not touch before. This is a book that triggered very gentle smiles and even gentler soul tears. The ones you don't see but feel. The ones who kiss wounds in places we did not wish look before. The ones who pour gently on shame and tells us it is alright to heal now. Safe. Thank you so much for writing this masterpiece. I couldn't put it down until the very end and it absolutely pointed me in the direction toward my own spiritual path again- a path I often stray from as it brings a lot of unresolved turmoil and shame. 🖤🖤🖤
A good debut book of poetry. My favourite poems were: Her soul was fierce, her heart wild, and every breath she exhaled was fire under the stars. I would have loved it more if it had been in the present tense. We are souls that spark on the world's breath, igniting flames of new beginnings.
MUST READ AGAIN!! I have dog eared and post-it noted every single poem. Voice of a Wildfire hit the vulnerable mark on the head. Oh, my heart and insides are left quivering and needing more.
