Cyra Sweet Dumitru, one of the four certified poetic medicine practitioners in Texas, has four acclaimed poetry collections and decades of experience guiding others through the transformative power of language. Her work is a lifeline for those navigating trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and spiritual wounding—and Cyra’s journey is as powerful as her poetry.

At just sixteen, she experienced the devastating loss of her brother David to suicide—a tragedy that reshaped her life and became the heartbeat of her healing. In her new memoir, Words Make a Way Through Fire: Healing from My Brother’s Suicide, Cyra shares how poetry helped her rebuild, reconnect, and reclaim her voice.

She also offers practical ways to break the silence and stigma around suicide, explores the transcendent presence she calls “Voice,” which has guided her through both shadow and light, and, a special gift: During the interview, Cyra reads two profoundly moving poems from her memoir—each a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the redemptive power of creative expression. Whether you’re a writer, a seeker, or someone carrying quiet sorrow, this interview will surely touch your heart, stir your soul, and remind you of the power of language to heal what feels shattered.
