Wild Geese Bookshop

Wild Geese Bookshop takes its name from Mary Oliver's beloved poem, and the store embodies Oliver's message that you need only let the world offer itself to your imagination. Located on the courthouse square in Franklin, Indiana, the shop has become a cultural anchor for Johnson County since opening in 2018. The literary fiction and poetry sections are curated with genuine passion, and the nature writing collection reflects the store's philosophical connection to the natural world. The cozy cafe invites lingering, and the children's section has become a weekend destination for young families from across the southern Indianapolis suburbs. The Indiana authors section highlights voices from across the state, and the store's events program has brought nationally recognized writers to a town that might otherwise be overlooked on book tours.
