The Shape of Healing

The Shape of Healing: Poems on Recovery, Grace, and Becoming Whole

In The Shape of Healing, poet Amy King offers a raw and luminous journey through the tangled terrain of recovery. These poems are not about perfection - they are about persistence. They speak of breaking and rebuilding, of whispering faith into the silence, and of finding strength in the softest parts of ourselves.

Written from the heart of lived experience, this chapbook explores the quiet ache of transformation, the unspoken weight of shame, and the radiant flicker of hope that refuses to go out. Whether you're walking your own path of healing or bearing witness to someone else's, these words offer comfort, clarity, and companionship.

Each poem is a moment of honesty, a breath held long enough to feel its edges.
This is what healing sounds like when it learns to speak.
