R. Marques: born in the wild, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

"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 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.
