Raised by Wind

Raised by Wind is a poetry collection about the invisible force that moves through everything: childhood and adulthood, grief and memory, family and distance, prairie grass and open sky.

Across the seasons, Amy King traces a life shaped not only by where she came from, but by what kept moving through it. The wind becomes more than weather. It is a witness, messenger, inheritance, and ache. It carries the voices of home, the weight of change, and the quiet strength it takes to keep standing.

Plainspoken, reflective, and rooted in the rhythms of rural life, Raised by Wind honors the wind as the thread between past and present, place and self, loss and becoming.

For readers who are drawn to nature-rooted poetry, rural memory, seasonal reflection, and poems about growing through what shaped them, this collection offers a quiet journey through the weather of a life.

Raised by wind. Weathered by memory. Still standing.
