Atticus is the pseudonym of an anonymous Canadian poet who built one of the most devoted followings in contemporary poetry through Instagram, where his spare, romantic verses about love, wildness, and heartbreak have been tattooed on thousands of readers' bodies. His debut collection Love Her Wild (Atria Books, 2017) became a New York Times bestseller, as did The Dark Between Stars (2018) and The Truth About Magic (2019). By choosing to remain anonymous, Atticus has argued that the words matter more than the author — a philosophy that has made him one of the most widely read poets of his generation.
