About this listen

Fostered: Poetry on Belonging, Healing, and Overcoming Trauma. Fostered is a haunting yet hopeful book of poems exploring foster care, healing from trauma, emotional displacement, and the search for identity. These verses journey from loss and abandonment to empowerment, self-discovery, and the reclamation of belonging.

Through lyrical and accessible language, the author captures the raw realities of growing up without stability and the courage it takes to heal, overcome, and build a home within yourself.

Inside you’ll find:

Poetry on childhood trauma, foster care experiences, and finding belonging after displacement.

Reflections on mental health, women’s empowerment, and reclaiming your story, verses of resilience, recovery, and transformation through survival.

Emotional and intimate poems for survivors, seekers, and those navigating identity. Writing that speaks to the heart, designed to inspire healing and empowerment.

Perfect for readers of: Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur, The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace, and Wild Embers by Nikita Gill.

If you are searching for healing poetry, poems about trauma and survival or verses that honour the fight to belong, Fostered offers a powerful voice for recovery, resilience, and hope.

I want to extend my deepest thanks to Eli Ash for creating such a powerful and heartfelt piece of work. Her writing not only captivates, but it speaks directly to the lived experiences of care leavers with honesty, dignity, and compassion. It’s rare to find an author who captures these realities so authentically, and Eli has done so with remarkable sensitivity and strength.

This book is more than a story& a mirror. It reflects the resilience, pain, hope, and complexity of growing up in the care system, and it gives voice to experiences that are so often overlooked. As a reader, I felt seen, heard, and understood in a way that only someone who truly gets it could put into words.

Thank you, Eli, for your courage, your insight, and your commitment to telling stories that matter. Your work is a reminder that care leavers’ narratives deserve space, recognition, and respect—and you offer exactly that.
