foraged

poems of healing + spirit

In Foraged, readers are drawn into the wilds of cultivating one’s identity, resilience, and self-healing. Through minimalist poems and line drawings, this collection explores the complexity of a cross cultural and religious upbringing, and an emergence of a personal spirituality from the depths of nature and self. Each poem weaves a narrative of transformation, portraying a discovery of healing and a sense of belonging amidst the vibrant tapestry of the world.

With a blend of contemplation and humor, Foraged invites readers to reflect on their own paths of transformation, revealing the art of embracing what one was given and foraging for the rest.

womb of the earth

poems of feminism + ecology

In Womb of the Earth, Rachel Sierra weaves together the narratives of feminism and ecology, exploring themes of empowerment, resilience, and healing. Inspired by her own struggle with endometriosis and the complexities of navigating the medical system, this work reflects on how women’s health is often reduced to fertility and reproduction, rather than being centered on a woman’s quality of life.

Her poetry draws powerful parallels between women’s well-being and the treatment of the earth. It delves into women’s health, cultural norms, and the intersection of christian culture and politics, which profoundly impacts both women and the earth in a visceral way.

Womb of the Earth calls us to honor the sacred connection between femininity and the land, inviting readers on a journey where healing ourselves leads to healing the earth.
