Rise

from $20.00

There are books that whisper and books that march.
Rise does neither. It stands.

This is a book born of sleepless thought and open eyes. Of watching the machinery of power grind on and daring to say — no. Of feeling the earth warm beneath our careless feet and refusing to look away.

The poems do not hide behind ornament. They move cleanly, like a blade through silk. They speak of freedom and its fragility. Of governments and ghosts. Of the winter gathering at the edge of human arrogance. Of the voice — especially the female voice — rising not in permission, but in necessity.

Camille writes as one who has been listening to the tremor under the surface. There is no theatrical rage here. No decorative despair. Only clarity. Only conscience.

In these pages you will find questions that do not let you go.
When will we act?
When will we rise?

Rise is not a book for the passive reader. It is for those who feel the pulse of the times and know something must shift — inwardly, outwardly, collectively.

It belongs on the bedside table of the awake.
It belongs in the hands of the restless.
It belongs to anyone who still believes that words can move the world.

Reviews

"A collection of thought provoking vignettes, words cleverly weaved with meaning. The common thread is challenging the way we are and the world we live in, lamenting the loss of community and fairness, yet the enduring feeling is one of hope and optimism.

Read it, leave it, let it linger and it will beckon you for attention again and again. It won't always make you smile, but it will make you think."

Kim Wingerei - Author, commentator and occasional poet

"For those who are worried, for those seeking comfort, for those who want change,

for those searching for hope, this book is for you. In a world that is divided, these poems will inspire and unite."

Sarah-Rose Mutch - Digital Marketer and aspiring poet
