"a reminder that no matter where we go, the wild always stays with us."
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 written in a free-verse style allowing for a fluid, intimate, and raw expression of emotion. the poems range from brief, fleeting thoughts to longer, more reflective pieces. across all three chapters, the collection weaves together themes of nature and identity (how landscapes shape us and stay within us ever after we leave), love and relationships (bonds with family, friends, and lovers, and how they evolve with time and distance), growth and change (the tension between holding onto the past and embracing the future),and, belonging and loss (the beauty of home and the ache of leaving it behind).
born in the wild
The first chapter is rooted in the raw, untamed beauty of the countryside. These poems capture the feeling of growing up close to nature. It is a world where instincts shape survival, and the wild is both a physical place and an internal force. There is a sense of innocence, freedom, and connection to the land, but also an awareness that this world is not one that can be held onto forever.
raised in the village
As I move from the untouched wilderness into the embrace of a small village, the focus shifts to family, community, and relationships. The poems explore the warmth and complexity of growing up surrounded by people-learning love, experiencing loss, and understanding the silent rules that bind a close-knit community together. Farming life, traditions, and the rhythm of rural existence shape my worldview, but beneath the comfort, there is an undercurrent of restlessness, the first hint of a desire to leave and see beyond the horizon.
living in the city
The final chapter captures the transition to city life and a new country. The wild fields and familiar streets of the village are replaced by towering buildings, fast-moving crowds, and an unfamiliar sense of both freedom and isolation. The poems in this section reflect on self-discovery, the search for identity in a foreign place, the loneliness that comes with movement, and the beauty found in new beginnings. The city offers reinvention, but it also demands adaptation. This chapter explores nostalgia, belonging, love, and personal transformation, questioning what it truly means to find "home" when the definition of home keeps shifting.chapter 1 - born in the wild is rooted in the raw, untamed beauty of the countryside.
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.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
