Baptism by Fire

Baptism by Fire is a poetry collection rich in symbolism, and gut wrenching in content. Not for the faint hearted. Muller's work reads like a story; told as a collection of visceral experiences through one female protagonist. The work takes us on a journey where the speaker encounters the destructive realities of the world attempting to undermine and manipulate her and her body. This work leads us on a passionate pursuit of authenticity and the drive toward the liberation of power. Harshly real, vexatiously honest, and brutally confrontational, the work leans towards a feminist commentary on sexual liberation and the power of female identity. The work is beautifully introduced by Stoya, Pornographer and author of Philosophy, Pussycats, & Porn. Amy-Jean Muller's writing is rooted in experiences inspired by symbolism, research and mythology. Her work does not attempt to gloss over the disturbing encounters of the world through its confrontational honesty. These truths are both devastatingly beautiful in their melancholy, and enigmatic in their veracities. Muller, writes with gut punching rawness, which is both transgressive and existential. She is currently completing her first novel.
