We The Wild Ones is officially published today!
Book Shop
It’s a collection of poems, stories and art inspired ‘The Wild’.
In the book, ‘Wild’ is wild nature but also the wild inside us- the freedom to think our own thoughts, dream our own dreams and ‘walk wherever wonder leads’.
And….the freedom to publish our own books exactly the way we want them!
I hope it’s a playful, uncompromising book in both form and content- hence the mix of stories, art and poems. There’s also no tedious blurb or quotes on the back- the title poem instead. I want you to be in the wild-otherworld of the book completely on every bit of every page.
It started from the need to re-print my story ‘High in the Old Oak Tree’, which is included, but there’s a lot lot more.
I’ve been spending the Summer at Fests and libraries performing stories and poems from it, planning workshops, and making up creative games based on the book. I’m all set to visit schools over the next school year to perform and run workshops based on the book. I’ve got quite a few lined up but would love more! If you work in a school and would like a visit please get in touch.
