Between Crumbs and Tears is a raw, powerful spoken word poetry collection by A’Marie Ryze. Written for women who loved too loudly, broke too quietly, and are learning to heal on their own terms, this book is a deeply personal reflection on heartbreak, self-worth, and emotional survival.
Blending elements of healing poetry, self-love poems, and feminist expression, it’s a lyrical journey through pain, resilience, and reclaiming power. Perfect for fans of poetry by Black women, emotional poetry collections, and anyone seeking truth, softness, and strength in equal measure.
If you’ve ever had to rebuild yourself from the ashes, this is your mirror.
A’Marie Ryze is an emerging poet whose debut collection, Between Crumbs and Tears, explores the emotional chaos of loss, survival, healing, and quiet fulfillment — sometimes all at once. What began as late-night journal entries — a way to release pain instead of burying it — became a body of work that speaks to the wounds we carry and the strength it takes to rebuild. Her poetry traces the journey through broken homes, self-sacrifice, betrayal, love, and growth, capturing the moments that make us come undone — and the ones that put us back together. Raw, reflective, and deeply human, her work is for anyone who’s ever felt too much, too deeply — and kept going anyway.
