Words Make a Way Through Fire is an intimate, courageous memoir of a woman shattered by witnessing her eldest brother's suicide when she was a teenager. It traces her creative journey of recovery and healing, with poetry as a constant companion. The primary means by which Cyra Sweet Dumitru heals from her trauma, from age sixteen through adulthood is writing poetry and journaling. During this journey, she experiences a transcendent, loving presence called Voice who guides and helps her imagine spiritual wholeness. Cyra finds community with others through sharing poetry. She studies poetry as craft and as medicine, ultimately becoming a poet with multiple published books, an award-winning instructor of poetry writing, and a certified practitioner of poetic medicine who creates spaces where other people can heal through poetry.
