PS. if you’re just now finding my poetry or just beginning your healing journey, then I recommend starting with Still Growing Wildflowers and working your way through the series.
Alisha’s raw honesty and unapologetic self-expression through her poetry is empowering and inspiring. Her poetry celebrates the power of embracing one's truth, no matter how unconventional it may be. Made of Earth is an invitation to embrace your fierce spirit and break free from your past.
Made of Earth is a brutal and beautiful collection of poetry that explores breaking toxic cycles from the mother wound, father wound, and how we can find self-love and make peace with our past through our connection to our mother earth.
