In We're Still Here, Amy Jean Nobles delivers a visceral, unflinching collection of lyrical poetry dedicated to the art of survival. Set against a gritty urban backdrop of wet concrete, chipped paint, and humming streetlights, this collection explores the heavy toll of adversity and the quiet aftermath of the battles we fight just to stay alive.

Nobles does not shy away from the lingering effects of trauma. Her verses capture the paranoia of ghosts following in shadows, the shaking hands that "sleep can't take," and the heavy air of anxiety. Yet, at its core, this book is an anthem of unbreakable resilience.

Through powerful, rhythmic refrains, the author reminds us that even when pushed to the absolute edge, we can choose the "streets over retreat". This collection is a testament to those whose spines have learned to be "steel and flame". It is for anyone who has ever felt the darkness closing in but found a way to turn their "wounds into something we can use".

Whether you are searching for empowering contemporary poetry or simply a reminder of your own strength, We're Still Here offers stubborn fire and undeniable proof that we can carry on. In the hush after the fight is done, every breath is a war won.
