THE ROSE & THE FLAME
A Global Poetry Anthology by Radhaa Publishing House
A CALL FOR THE LOVERS, THE PHOENIXES & THE POETS WHO WERE NEVER MEANT TO STAY SILENT
Some poems are written carefully.
Others arrive like fire.
The kind that wake you up at midnight.
The kind that sit in your chest for years.
The kind born through heartbreak, longing, desire, grief, awakening, survival, and transformation.
The kind that refuse to be ignored.
The Rose & The Flame is now accepting submissions from poets and writers around the world for a breathtaking collaborative anthology exploring love, longing, heartbreak, healing, sensuality, feminine power, devotion, resilience, spiritual awakening, trials, rebirth, and the eternal flame within the human soul.
This anthology is for the lovers.
And for the phoenixes.
For the ones who loved deeply enough to be changed by it.
For the ones who walked through impossible seasons and somehow still remained open-hearted.
For the ones who turned grief into wisdom… longing into art… survival into beauty.
For the poets whose words have been waiting patiently for permission to exist beyond the page.
This is not simply a poetry anthology.
It is a chance to become part of something timeless.
Because books last.
Long after algorithms change.
Long after social media posts disappear into endless scrolling.
Long after trends fade.
A book remains.
A poem remains.
Words written from the soul have a way of traveling across generations, reaching hearts we may never meet, touching lives we may never fully understand.
And perhaps somewhere in the world, someone is waiting for the exact words only you could write.
That is the power of poetry.
Curated by bestselling author and publisher Radhaa Nilia of Radhaa Publishing House, The Rose & The Flame is intended to be more than a collection of poems. It is a gathering of emotionally honest voices devoted to truth, beauty, vulnerability, emotional depth, and transformation.
Poems that ache.
Poems that awaken.
Poems that leave fingerprints on the heart.
Poems that linger long after the final page.
And because we know many gifted writers are navigating financial hardship right now, this anthology is being opened differently.
Because we know many gifted women are navigating financial pressure right now, The Rose & The Flame is being opened differently.
Rather than approaching this anthology through a rigid traditional publishing structure, we are offering a donation-based collaborative model, allowing more women the opportunity to share their voice and become part of something lasting.Contributors are welcome to participate at the level that feels aligned and supportive for them.
Because we do not believe meaningful poetry should remain hidden simply because someone is waiting for the “perfect” moment to finally share their words with the world.
Because we believe extraordinary poetry should not remain hidden simply because someone is struggling financially.
Once payment is sent via Zelle to Radhaa Publishing House, contributors will receive an invitation into our private Facebook poetry community for the anthology — a sacred creative space where poets will be supported throughout the entire process leading up to the release of the book.
This is not a “submit and disappear” experience.
Contributors will have the opportunity to connect with fellow poets, share inspiration, celebrate one another, and feel part of a living creative community throughout the journey.
Included are two live Zoom gatherings with Radhaa and the collective of poets prior to release — intimate spaces for connection, encouragement, celebration, and shared creative energy as the anthology comes to life.
The process is beautifully simple:
You submit your poems.
You contribute what you can.
You join the private poetry group.
We handle the heavy lifting.
Radhaa Publishing House professionally curates the anthology, designs and publishes the book, organizes the collective experience, creates promotional materials, press outreach, and brings the vision fully to life.
Then the magick happens.
Your poetry becomes part of a real published book.
A book someone can hold in their hands.
A book that exists in the world.
A book carrying your voice, your emotions, your truth.
And in 2026…
you officially become a published poet.
Forever.
Not “almost.”
Not “aspiring.”
Not hidden away in journals, notebooks, or phone notes waiting for someday.
Published.
Your words printed onto real pages.
Your name inside a professionally published anthology that may live far beyond your own lifetime.
Because poetry matters.
A poem can save someone.
A poem can mirror someone’s pain.
A poem can make a stranger feel seen for the very first time.
A poem can become the sentence someone remembers for the rest of their life.
Never underestimate what your voice could mean to another human being.

You do not need to sound like anyone else.
You do not need permission to share your voice anymore.
You do not need to wait until you feel “ready.”
Somewhere deep down, many people already know when a poem belongs in the world.
Maybe this is your moment.
Maybe this is the year you stop hiding your words.
Maybe this is the year your poetry finally becomes immortalized in print.
