Inviting readers to discover beauty in poetry about grief, nature, longing, and becoming.

Antonia Wilde is my pen name. I am Alicia Boemi, an emerging poet and published children's book author whose poetry work explores the raw, unfiltered depths of human emotion and the natural world. My poetry focuses on grief, nature, longing, and becoming. I studied English Writing in college, earning a Bachelor's degree.  My chapbook, THE LAKE REMAINS, is forthcoming from Kelsay Books in 2026. My poems were also recently selected for the upcoming Spring 2026 issue of the literary magazine, Moss Puppy. My work is short, vivid, and punchy. You can find me writing by my favorite lake in Wisconsin, or working at the bookstore I own.
