Nature Speaks is a lyrical, soul-stirring poetry collection by A.K. Patrick, written in the voices of the Earth’s oldest storytellers—river, forest, moon, mountain, owl, and others.

Told through allegory and grounded in deep emotional truth, these poems explore themes of rebirth, reverence, rage, and resilience.
