AJ Wilde

I am a freelance writer living in Toronto, Canada. Originally from England, I identify with Pierre Trudeau as a “citizen of the world”. I write short fiction, novellas, screenplays, lyrics and poetry, in an eclectic and individual style that resists the restrictions of mainstream genre. My work has been described as “dark, edgy, smudging the lines between real and surreal, shining a flashlight into the hidden, cobwebby corners of the unique state of being that is human.” My writing contains layers of meaning, reflecting a lifelong interest in philosophy and uncompromising passion for love and life. My short stories and poetry have been published in various small presses, including the September 11 commemorative anthology “A Time of Trial” (Hidden Brook Press). I am currently working on a first book of poetry, as well as a series of novellas about the experiences of a young man on a journey of self-discovery, entitled “Soul Journeys”, the first of which, “Summer of Love”, is out at Torquere Press.
