The Wild Woman: Poems

The Wild Woman is Silkej's second powerful selection of poems that awaken the ancient myths within us all. With passionate gentleness and lyrical strength, these verses explore transformation, shadow, and the reclaiming of the wild feminine spirit. This collection invites readers on a profound journey toward self-discovery and inner power, a must-read for anyone ready to embrace their true, powerful spirit. Her first soul-baring collection of poems, A Life Across Eleven Countries, showcases a voice that is powerful, courageous, and deeply moving. With a tone both fierce and tender, she traces her journey from a silenced childhood in Greece to a life shaped by movement, across borders, languages, and identities. Her poems, rich in nature and emotion, carry the rhythm of windsurfing, the freedom, the fight, the balance. Through lyrical, fluid verse, she invites us into a world of transformation, motherhood, and the quiet strength it takes to reclaim one's voice. Eirini Silkej is a writer, seeker, and traveler who has lived in eleven countries across continents. Her life is a mosaic shaped by movement, by the intimacy of conversations, and by a relentless curiosity about the human condition. Her writing, whether visual or verbal, is a means of mapping emotion and meaning across landscapes. Other publications: Hawai'i is her first book. Eirini listens deeply to places and people, not to collect stories but to understand what they reveal about our shared essence. Hawai'i, offered her a temporary home, a photographic lens, and a mirror. What emerged was a visual journal, an inquiry, an offering of people's stories. For Eirini, the act of departure is never just about leaving; it is about arriving more fully in herself. In her second book, The Paradox of Love, Eirini Silkej delves into the intricate psychology, philosophy, and societal textures of love. Drawing from a life lived across eleven countries and shaped by intimate cross-cultural encounters, Silkej approaches love not as a fixed concept but as a constantly shifting terrain. With the heart of a traveler and the insight of a thinker, she explores why love eludes us, how it transforms across time, and what it demands of our emotional, cognitive, and cultural selves. Through philosophical inquiry, psychological exploration, and deeply personal reflections, she invites readers into a slow, contemplative space; one where love is no longer idealized or feared, but carefully unraveled, understood, and reimagined. The Paradox of Love, is both a mirror and a map, tracing the fragility and resilience of love.
