About the book:
Some excerpts from the book:
From the poem 'Rewild Me'
"Awaken this mind
from its lengthy hibernation
left festering in thought for all too long
Take these passive hands
smooth from a life lived with careful
softness
Guide them faithfully in your own
which are richly roughened
and reassuringly ripe" From the poem 'Uh Oh'
"We are self-destructing
Evolving yet devolving On this big orb of chemicals
We are internally combusting Our physicality phased by
mentally-draining struggles" From the poem 'Youness'
In you there is a trueness
A refreshing vibrant newness A bright openheartedness
The best sort of quirkiness"
