    About this ebook

    The first collection of poetry by Instagram sensation Atticus

    Love Her Wild is a collection of new and beloved poems from Atticus, who has captured the hearts and minds of well over 300k followers on his Instagram account, @atticuspoetry, including superstars like Karlie Kloss and Shay Mitchell.  With honesty, poignancy, and romantic flare, Love Her Wild captures what is both raw and relatable about the smallest and the grandest moments in life: the first glimpse of a new love, a late night drive singing along to a car radio, the irrepressible exuberance of the female spirit, the simple pleasure of a good whiskey. Atticus distills the most exhilarating highs and the heartbreaking lows of life and love into a few short lines, ensuring that his words will become etched in your mind—and will awaken your sense of adventure.

      Sometimes you just need to read something comforting, something that doesn’t make you think too hard or makes you scratch your head. Sometimes the best words are the ones you’d say to yourself if you could conjure them.

    • 2/5
      Poetry? Sure, if you like the general stuff you hear at a coffee shop open mic that make you cringe if you studied poetry at some point. More like mostly unoriginal tweets or comments. Some good ones occasionally, but mostly generic and cliché and by that I mean anybody could write majority of these poems, I'd say about 5-10 percent gems, 90 percent generic and weak, also for some reason pegged as erotic, not as far as I could tell but I only read a dozen or so tweoms. One thing that is original is the poetic form. Or at least relatively new. The tweet poem. If I'd written "There is too much risk in loving," the young boy said/ No/ Said the old man, there is too much risk in not, " in my poetry class my professor would have said, "what is this an observation, the first line of a poem expressing a sentiment you can find on the back of hallmark card? What pop song did you steal this pithy brilliance from? Who hasnt said this in some shape or form at some point in the last 100 years or since the advent of our modern concept of love? Walmart poetry does sell well though, so if money is your main thing, you could jump on the bandwagon and ride this trend to the bank.

    Love Her Wild - Atticus

    There is nothing quite

    so pure in love

    as a boy

    and a girl

    building castles

    in the clouds.

    As he took her hand

    he gave her

    all she had been

    waiting for—

    a shiver

    down her spine.

    When it comes to love

    we are primates breaking sticks

    while pointing to our hearts.

    Love

    is diving headfirst

    into someone else’s confusion

    and finding

    that it all makes sense.

    I’ll let you into my heart

    but wipe your feet at the door.

    I think it’s beautiful

    the way you sparkle

    when you talk about

    the things you love.

    We let our lives

    mix with our dreams

    like two colored paints

    until we didn’t know

    which was what

    and we didn’t care.

    I want to be with someone

    who dreams of doing everything in life,

    and nothing

    on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

    MY

    ATOMS

    LOVE

    YOUR

    ATOMS,

    IT’S

    CHEMISTRY.

    The beautiful thing

    about young love

    is the truth

    in our hearts that it will last forever.

    There’s too much risk in loving,

    the young boy said.

    No,

    said the old
