Idiot. Heart.

by Crissy Wagner

I wrote a book of poetry! And it’s available for purchase! How exciting, I’m excited!

It has been something that I’ve been working on, in the background, for the last 3 years. I’ve even have a few here on my website, in their early stages. My journal here has been a good place to sandbox a lot of my writing, poetry included. I spent a lot of the month of September editing and formatting, in a way that was so new to me and the learning curve was so great.

Idiot. Heart. is my first book of poetry, but I’ve been writing poetry since I was a kid. I remember having to write a book of poetry in 7th grade, I believe it was the last project of the year. (It felt like a book, it was probably about 15 to 20 poems in total, and now that I think about it, that is a lot for 13-14 year old.)

This collection explores the connection between humans and nature, emotions and actions, and how everything eventually entertains and intertwines. Life is a journey that deserves signposts and these poems serve as a poetic guide written during times of isolation, external and internal. Idiot. Heart. features 30+ poems on the seasonal nature of desire, heartbreak, and friendship.
