Volume III: Beneath Her Brim

Feminine Portraits in Poise and Power

Whispers, wit, and the women who wear their strength in style.

A collection for the women who carry worlds in their eyes and secrets in their style.

A Poetry Collection

by Karie | The Phoenix Writes

Poetry that ignites the soul, softens the edges, and speaks with the voice of fire and feather.

Welcome to Feather and Flame — a five-volume journey through the human heart, spirit, and imagination. These poems are drawn from the embers of lived experience and carried on the wings of creative truth. They are both fierce and delicate, forged in transformation and penned with tenderness.

Each volume offers a doorway into a different emotional and spiritual landscape — from the ashes of grief and the ache of longing, to the elemental pull of nature, the silent strength of womanhood, and the wild joy of life’s irreverent absurdities.

Together, these collections invite you to rise, reflect, laugh, and feel deeply.
Feather and Flame is not just a poetry series — it’s a living anthology of transformation, written in ink and embers, guided by the soul’s own fire.
