Ramblings of an Untamed Mind
By Robert Parr

"I cut myself with words, so it is the ink that leaks and not my life."

In Ramblings of an Untamed Mind, Robert Parr invites you to walk beside him through the raw and intimate terrain of his life—told through poetry that bleeds with honesty, insight, and emotion.

This short collection captures the essence of a man who has faced life's extremes: the ache of loss, the beauty of birth, the shadow of depression, and the quiet power of gratitude. Each poem is a window into Robert’s soul, offering readers a chance to sit with his thoughts, feel his wounds, and share in his healing.

From the wide horizons of rural Australia and the solitude of boarding school, to the rugged reality of hands-on rural work, Robert’s path has been anything but ordinary. He's loved deeply, mourned profoundly, and survived a life-saving liver transplant—a turning point that redefined his sense of self and purpose.

Through it all, Robert's words remain grounded in truth. His poetry reflects a life shaped by intergenerational trauma, personal resilience, and a deep longing to understand the world and his place in it. His voice is unflinching, yet filled with rare vulnerability—offering comfort to those who’ve ever stood on the edge and wondered what comes next.

Ramblings of an Untamed Mind is more than a poetry collection. It’s a testimony to the human spirit—a rollercoaster of emotions that reminds us there is beauty even in the broken, and strength in sharing the journey.
