born in the wild is out now.

r. marques is an independent writer based in the UK, whose work explores themes of love, memory, identity, nature and belonging. With a voice that is both intimate and universal.

born in the wild is a poetry collection that traces the emotional and physical journey of moving through different landscapes - both external and internal. It is a reflection on home, belonging, change and identity, told through three interconnected chapters that follow my evolution from childhood to adolescence, from nature to the city, from the known to the unknown. born in the wild is a book for those who have ever left home, for those who have ever felt caught between two worlds, and for those who are still searching for the place where they truly belong.
