Shayan Afzal

I have been spending time in nature for as long as I can remember. However, I hardly find writing inspiration in nature. I have read about poets who would go for long walks in the wild, and while there, poetry would just flow off their tongues. I haven’t written much poetry in recent years, but even when it comes to prose, that has not been the case for me. Perhaps it’s because the writing that interests me deals with complex human emotions instead of the natural world. I may need to pick up novels that are set in the wilderness. Regardless of the lack of writing inspiration, being in the wild is the most pleasurable escape from day to day realities of life.
