The story so far…
Over the last 3.5 years, I have been writing and developing a style of poetry which explores what it is to be human and feel a deep connection and belonging to what is inside us, and outside the borders of our physical bodies.
Since the beginning of 2023, I began to feel that at 42/43, I am reaching the half way point in life, and these poems are the gift that has emerged from my explorations of being a father, community member, worker bee, butterfly, dancer and adventurer.
Fortunately, I am connected to some amazing people who have helped me find a voice, audio and visual language for this work and we are on a journey to share this with you. Below are the recordings which you are able to listen to, or download.
There is also a trailer for the upcoming work, and the first poetry film made in collaboration with Dan Martins. In November/December 2023, we will be launching a new crowdfunding campaign to complete the work we started in June 2023.
The untaming and rewilding of belonging
This is a series of 12 poems, which welcome ourselves and our experiences, our ancestors, the world in which we are one part, and which includes all elements of an animate life. These poems are experiences, to be taken into wilder places, where you can find time and space for yourself to feel the work and reflect on what is alive in them for you.
If you have enjoyed this work, please support us and it’s continued development here.
Buy the collection of poems for £15 (you can download them) or gift £3.50 for a poem. I choose to make these accessible for all, and if they inspire you, you can give back through one off purchases, or an ongoing subscription.
“I’m supporting Jamie because his work is the poetic expression of the shift towards a more relational, inclusive and alive world that many of us are longing for. In our co-creating of it his words are powerful reminders of what else is possible amidst the craziness of our time.”
