What Grows After Fire A Collection to Erupt the Patriarchy

What Grows After Fire is a poetry book with the aim of resisting against patriarchal and capitalistic structures. It interweaves the core emotions and experiences many feel in a world built for cisgender men. It is also to provide a space for processing what is stripped away by male agendas. More importantly, it is a collection to fuel collective mobilization and liberation.
