Rebellion, fire, and beauty are all motifs contained within Gill’s extensive collection, but most of the freeverse and prose poems contained within focus on a more nebulous theme - abuse and recovery. The descriptions on Amazon and so on do not clarify well enough the theme of this collection of poetry. She writes full time for Thought Catalog.Wild Embers by Nikita Gill was the hardest book of my assignment so far to get my hands on (I had to make a purchase request from my library).

Her work has appeared in Literary Orphans, Agave Magazine, Gravel Literary Journal, Monkeybicycle, Foliate Oak, MusePiePress, Dying Dahlia Review, The Rising Phoenix Review, Eunoia Review and elsewhere. Nikita Gill enjoys creating paintings, poems, stories, photos, illustrations and other soft, positive things. I would recommend this poetry collection if you’re finding a collection that is not focused on love but focused on empowering women, support, encouragement and bringing the warrior, the survivor, the leader out of us. I can’t wait to read more poetry and prose from her! She is now one of my go-to when it comes to poetry and prose. Wild Embers made me love Nikita Gill so much more. I really enjoyed her Your Soul Is a River but I unexpectedly enjoyed this more. They’re used as metaphors – they’re honestly one of my favorite words in this world – but I just got tired of seeing almost just them for most of the earlier part. There are words that are so overly used that somehow almost irritated me in the earlier part. The only thing I didn’t like was its repetitiveness.

I love and adore most the pieces where Nikita Gill turned Disney Princesses and goddesess from Greek mythology into that girl they should have been and retold their stories. I always had something to highlight in a page because I was so in love, so moved and so empowered by the lines. This collection will showcase mostly unseen poetry and prose, delving into ideas about passion, identity, empowerment and femininity. Nikita Gill’s poetry has captured hearts and minds all over the world her inspirational words have been shared hundreds of thousands of times online, been plastered across placards on international women’s marches and even transformed into tattoos. Genre: Poetry They have lightning in their souls, thunder in their hearts, chaos in their bones.
