Other Wild (Peepal Tree Press) by Emily Zobel Marshall is the second poetry collection by the writer of French Caribbean and British heritage. Here the living natural world — forests, rivers, mountains — is both real landscape and metaphor for intense spiritual and emotional wildness, and the restless quest for personal sovereignty. Closely observed and breathtakingly imagined, Zobel Marshall’s poems explore the human and inhuman compulsion to stray and trespass across boundaries of joy and heartbreak, possession and loss.
