Burnt Offerings and Beautiful Things
What do we do with the pain we inherited?



We write it.

We burn it.

We build something beautiful from the ashes.



This 250-poem collection by Matea Reed is a raw, unflinching exploration of generational trauma, addiction, mother wounds, recovery, and becoming the woman who refuses to stay silent. Through poetic storytelling that is both tender and ferocious, Matea breaks open the silence of survival and rebuilds herself—one page, one truth, one breath at a time.



Told in six powerful parts, this book carries readers through the fire of dysfunction, the numbness of escape, the ache of healing, and the quiet triumph of becoming whole. These poems are not here to be pretty—they're here to be honest. To bleed. To remind you that broken doesn't mean unworthy. And healing isn't perfect—but it is possible.
