Wild as a New Morning is a collection of the poems and lyrics from Steve Bonham. Written over the years by the self-styled ‘vagabond philosopher’, they are a direct response to the stories and places of a life well-travelled. “I can’t paint them, so I write them,” is his response to glimpses of another world, magical yet uncannily real, present in the periphery of his vision.

Take a trip with Steve across the arid landscapes of the Sahara Desert, sail through time on his venerable narrowboat Emeline along the Oxford canal, stroll through the smoggy streets of an ancient Midlands town, scale the High Atlas Mountains, and set sail on the mystical Seas of Serendipity.
