Quietly Wild: Poems, Photographs, and Rituals to Mark the Year

Available September 16, 2025

Quietly Wild is a poetic almanac for the soul; a tender, artful companion through the turning of the year. With lush photography, seasonal poems, and gentle rituals for every month, this book invites you to reconnect with the rhythms of the Earth—and your own inner landscape.

Across 150 pages, you'll find:

• 40+ full-color film & digital photographs taken by Alix, capturing the quiet magic of everyday nature

• 120 poems (10 per month) that speak to the beauty, grief, and hope in every season.

• Simple, nature-rooted rituals and prompts to help you mark solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days.

• A sensory map of the year that honors science and spirit in equal measure.

Whether you're greeting the first spring crocus or lighting candles in the early dark of winter, Quietly Wild offers a way back to slowness, beauty, and belonging.

This book is for you if...

• You believe art and community are how we save ourselves (and maybe the planet, too)

• You crave a quieter, wilder life where creativity and seasonality shape your days

• You're a poet at heart, whether or not you write poems

• You're seeking rituals that ground, not overwhelm—rooted in awe, not obligation

Part field journal, part spell-book, part love letter to the Earth, Quietly Wild is designed for anyone yearning to live with more intention, reverence, and joy.
