Description
New York Times bestselling poet Atticus returns to dive even deeper into the life-affirming waters of love, with all-new, ready-to-share poems on new love, old love, lost love, and forever love.
Skinny Dipping in December is the sixth collection from bestselling poet Atticus, author of Love Her Wild and LVOE.
With his signature brevity, Atticus shares thoughts on the many forms that love embodies, reaching out a hand to the souls too free to be caged and the ones still healing from diving into the deep end before they were ready. He continues to capture the relatable ebbs and flows of life that have resonated with readers worldwide for over a decade.
Heartwarming and timeless, this is Atticus at his best and love at its most uninhibited.
