This poem has the titular line for my book of poetry — Swimming in the Wild, Wide Ocean — and is very special to me. It's a poem foretelling the future, and so far I think I did a pretty good job as a prophetess.

"Swim free from me / from this pool out into the / wild, wide ocean." These collected works span twenty years of Amanda Caldwell's poetry, from the tasks of school to the allures of nature, from the joy of married love to the grief of loss, from the first steps of parenthood to the rocky journey of faith. Arranged by season, the poems bring the reader full circle through a representative year of blessings, challenges, and transitions.
