Embers and Verses is a storytelling brand built on depth, subtlety, and emotional truth. Founded by writer and poet Aundra Hawkins, a devoted father, husband, and quiet observer of life, the brand was born from a desire to turn everyday moments into meaningful, lasting art.

 

Our name is our purpose:

 • “Embers” reflect the quiet fire in us all—the legacy, the warmth, the wounds, and the still-burning truths we carry.

 • “Verses” are how we translate those embers into language, memory, and connection.

 

We don’t write to perform.

We write to preserve, to reflect, and to heal.

 

Through poetry collections, short stories, and soulful creative content, Embers and Verses invites readers into a space that feels both deeply personal and universally human.
