Ashes of Innocence
A Poetic Journey Through Shadow & Light

All our perspectives come from light and shadows. What lies in the darkness, hidden from our understanding? And what might a sudden light reveal? The answers to such questions are as changeable as the seasons, but giving them voice has always been the purview of poets . . . examining all of life's vagaries—its loves and losses, blessings and curses—through the pebbled glass of the author's own lived experience, and with insight, vulnerability, and humour.

Discover Ashes of Innocence: A Poetic  Journey Through Shadow & Light, the new poetry memoir by MJ Bear. Explore this collection of poems about life, compassion, self-forgiveness, and emotional maturity, offering readers a safe, uplifting space for self-discovery.

About MJ Bear

MJ Bear, poet and author, lives in the foothills of the beautiful Rockies in Alberta, Canada. To MJ, this wilderness is a stimulating source of inspiration for poetry.
