Amanda Cooke

Amanda Cooke is a writer, poet and songwriter. Born and raised in the bush outside the city of Brisbane, Australia, she spent most of her adult life far from home including six years in the middle of nowhere. She now lives close to where she started on unceded Yuggera Turbal country, with her husband, daughter and animal family. When she is not writing, you'll find her immersed in books, thought, art, music, nature, poetry, or dancing—anything that reunites her inner and outer wildness. Amanda is author of the popular poetry Substack Appetite for Living. "If your soul needs nourishing, head here immediately. Amanda sprinkles deep wisdom and mystical truths like confetti, and her poetry always facilitates a homecoming. For reconnection to what is most important, there is no better Substack."
