Julie Poole Books

A poetic botanical index, Julie Poole's debut collection explores the history and science of, and human interaction with, the natural world.

Inspired by the vibrant Texan cityscape, this poetry collection captures the essence of movement and change during a politically charged time. Written while commuting on foot in Austin, the poems reflect Julie Poole's journey through the city's hot, humid atmosphere, as she documents her experiences and emotions. The collection serves as a heartfelt invitation to a future soulmate, intertwining personal longing with observations of the urban landscape and the shifting seasons amidst the backdrop of the Trump presidency.
