About the book
This collection doesn't shy away from sorrow-it embraces it alongside joy, growth, and resilience. Each poem marks a step in the author's journey back to herself, celebrating the raw, messy beauty of being alive. With a voice that is both vulnerable and unflinchingly honest, Cardinal or Crow is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to endure, to evolve, and to find light even in the darkest of seasons.
About the author

Molly Myriah was born in Columbus, Georgia, but grew up all over the East coast and in Germany. Most of her childhood was spent outdoors while daydreaming of writing stories. After graduating from James Madison University with a BS in Health Sciences, Molly found herself in the corporate world where she continued to daydream about writing. Molly resides in Coastal Virginia with the three loves of her life, her teenage children, and her two precious, but misbehaving, doggies. In her spare time, you can most often find Molly at the beach or in the woods, hopefully with her family or friends. Cardinal or Crow is Molly’s first publication.
