Isle of Skye
Isle of Skye is the final collection of poetry by Natalie Nascenzi, joining her first two books Out of Chaos and The Aftermath of Unrest.
Beginning with her own poetic journey ending, Isle of Skye takes readers through an unpredictable collection of lyrical and emotionally charged poetry—eventually guiding them to a destination and prompting them to write their own beginning.
Each piece is different from the next, reflecting the improbability of reality that we each face on every journey through life. Isle of Skye sends the message: Though the road to every goal is highs and lows, we all end up where we are meant to be; and though an ending is bittersweet, it always means a new beginning.

After her final installment of her poetry book series, Isle of Skye, Natalie plans to expand into the world of writing and beyond; carrying with her the mission to spread hope and positive change.
From me: My goal is to inspire others, promote hope, and deliver the message: No matter what you go through, you are not alone. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel and a shoulder to lean on.
I'm from Rhode Island but I moved to the city in 2017 to pursue a career in advertising as a copywriter. I started out freelancing at a small boutique agency *drum roll please* and I hated it. I booked a one way plane ticket to LA and planned on kissing NYC (and copywriting) goodbye.
Then, something magical happened–my good ol’ friend fate stepped in.
The day before my flight, on the last day of my job, I was given the opportunity to interview at a different agency. Shockingly enough, they hired me on the spot and I started work that following Monday.
Immediately after starting my new position, I embarked on a new journey–weight loss. Eight months later, I was down 75lbs. It all happened at once: a new job, a new life, and a new me. Learning to navigate a new city, a new sense of self, and a highly demanding job began to take its toll. This led me to my next journey, into chaos, which I like to call my “battle of selves.”
This unexpected turn greeted me with crippling anxiety, intrusive/repetitive thoughts, and depression. I was waltzing with my shadow self and dancing through life in total chaos. During this time, I was forced to face demons that I didn’t even know I had, and the one true thing we all fear…myself.
Out of chaos came clarity, strength, and poetry; and the completion of my first book.
Since then, I've been performing all over the city and writing wherever I can! I'm excited to share my journey of transformation with you all from Out of Chaos and into The Aftermath of Unrest.
