Now, more than ever, is the bold time for Wild. Platts-Fanning writes on the forest floor, rediscovering humanity’s place in the uncemented world. Like the leafy crowns of City Giants, her poetry grows from seeds of wild grass sprouted from broken concrete, where ivy climbs red brick walls.
Dandelion Rebellion is a call for radical empathy. A Wild voice underscoring that we are part of the world on which we wander and must redefine how we interface with the environments around us. We are the land. Resistance is now survival against Flower Famine. There is no separation between inner liberation and collective action. Each poem is a small act of resistance, inviting readers to feel, to witness, and to act alongside the land that sustains us.
