illuminating the daily magic of our earthly experience

Earth Tides

an indie poetry collection

Healing, ethereal, and empowering in its vulnerability, Earth Tides invites you to explore your human experience on this planet we call home. This gorgeous, fully illustrated collection holds 111 poems and is divided into four sections (Air, Water, Fire, Earth) and ends on a short note from Spirit, the fifth element & section. Air touches on the soul's self-expression; Water navigates us through depression and anxiety's tumultuous waves; Fire sheds light on love, loss, and heartbreak; and Earth brings poems filled with fertile soil for grounding and healing.

Encompassing the many nuances of being human, Earth Tides places poetry in your palms to carry with you through it all - whether you're in the throes of navigating healing, in an uncomfortable place of growth, or just beginning to fathom what your earthly experience means to you. In this compelling debut collection, Earth Tides gifts you the power to be authentically human, authentically you.

praise for earth tides

I loved the imagery in this collection. It’s spellbinding, evocative, and lavish. The illustrations are beautiful and compliment the vibe of Vaughn’s work well. I read a digital copy, but the images were still stunning! - Hope Moore

From the vintage artwork, to the way Amy’s writing takes museums of art and liquifies them into ink put to paper, this book was a comfort read through and through. Her writing is unique, powerful, breathtaking, and unlike any other poet’s work I’ve read. I know I will pick this up time and time again to curl up enjoy. - Randina Sheldon

An absolutely stunning collection of poetry…There is so much empowerment, growth, & pain all seamlessly embedded into the lines of each poem, & every single one had such profound meaning. There are even hints of mythology in some of her pieces, which I found to be extra interesting & enjoyable to read. - Leisly Roman
