SOULS ON FIRE
Description
SOULS ON FIRE: Fragments from the Early Hours
Some books are written. This one was caught-in the gap between exhaustion and clarity, in the margins of notebooks, on coffee shop napkins, in the dark before the alarm.
Souls on Fire is a debut poetry collection of compressed fragments, micro-poems, and lyric observations written over the course of one year. Haiku sit beside prose poems. Five-word constraints share space with bilingual experiments. Cultural remixes collide with quiet confessions. The thread isn't form-it's voice.
Organized into nine sections spanning opening manifestos, seasonal meditations, memory, loss, and the craft of writing itself, this collection resists easy categorization. It is a record of paying attention. A year of midnight writing that refused to stay in one shape.
R. Ellis is a writer and bookbinder based in Montreal. Souls on Fire is their literary debut.
