About this product
Product Information
Shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize 2022. Third Prize winner of the Laurel Prize 2022. What is still wild in us - and is it recoverable? The poems in Wilder , Jemma Borg's second collection, are acts of excavation into the deeper and more elusive aspects of our mental and physical lives. Whether revisiting Dante's forest of the suicides, experiencing the saturation of new motherhood or engaging in a boundary-dissolving encounter with a psychedelic cactus, these meticulous and sensuous poems demonstrate a restless intelligence, seeking out what we are losing and inviting us to 'break ourselves each against the beauty of the other'. They call on us to remember ourselves as the animals we are, in connection with the complex web of life in what Mary Midgley called an 'extended sympathy', and to consider wildness as a process of becoming, reforming and growth. We do not live in a time when we can afford denial. Instead, by being willing to enter despair, might we find what Gary Snyder described as 'the real world to which we belong' and recover the means to save what we are destroying?

Reviews
'This collection considers not just the human impact on nature, nor the static observation of nature, nor even the post-human speakers of rocks or moss, but rather combines all these voices and points of view, and more, considers something inter-relational, to imagine all these elements coalescing and in conversation within a broader, holistic space. Between the joy of its noticings and the risks of its linguistic foraging, Wilder guides us through networks connecting and reconnecting to each other like root systems - a model for thinking perhaps, towards what we are still searching for.' SK Grout, Poetry School, 'Startling poems on human life and the natural world... She [Borg] excels when analysing the natural world, from the "needlework of [ocean] currents" and the "siltstone honeycomb" of southern England to Dante's grimly "flourishing" forest of the suicides.' Jade Cuttle, The Times Literary Supplement, "Borg makes us realise the vital connection between the human and the non-human, the physical and the psychological, the visible and the eclipsed. Like the collection's title, there is wildness and magic in these poems." Jennifer Wong, The Poetry Review "This collection considers not just the human impact on nature, nor the static observation of nature, nor even the post-human speakers of rocks or moss, but rather combines all these voices and points of view, and more, considers something inter-relational, to imagine all these elements coalescing and in conversation within a broader, holistic space.

She [Borg] excels when analysing the natural world, from the 'needlework of [ocean] currents' and the 'siltstone honeycomb' of southern England to Dante's grimly 'flourishing' forest of the suicides." Jade Cuttle, The Times Literary Supplement "Borg writes with a painter's eye of 'brute, smudged earth' at Broadwater Warren, of grass 'tutting/with its many wet tongues', but saves her best writing for the human species: 'My son in his ancient world is swallowing dreams' is a terrific womb-with-a-view poem with the same kick as Dylan Thomas's 'Before I knocked'; the poet's unborn son 'coils at my navel, the pendulums/of his legs accruing bone, his soft hands/shuddering at his face'. Suspend your scepticism for the earnest eight-page hallucinogenic cactus-trip that closes the book; go with her, and you might be pleasantly surprised." Tristram Fane Saunders, The Telegraph "Wilder is an adventure in language combining the passionate with the forensic, the visual with the visionary... she's not afraid to project her work as a serious contribution to describing la condition humaine aimed at fullness and accuracy." Dilys Wood, ARTEMISpoetry "Wilder experiments with nature to find a better perspective... [it] offers open reflections on climate-anxious selfhood in sharp verse." Jack McKenna, The Manchester Review "Borg offers us a worldview which is profoundly more enchanted... this is a way of relating to life on earth which broadens the horizons of what nature poetry can achieve." SZ Shao, 'Wilder is an adventure in language combining the passionate with the forensic, the visual with the visionary... she's not afraid to project her work as a serious contribution to describing la condition humaine aimed at fullness and accuracy.' Dilys Wood, ARTEMISpoetry, 'Borg writes with a painter's eye of "brute, smudged earth" at Broadwater Warren, of grass "tutting/with its many wet tongues", but saves her best writing for the human species: "My son in his ancient world is swallowing dreams" is a terrific womb-with-a-view poem with the same kick as Dylan Thomas's "Before I knocked"; the poet's unborn son "coils at my navel, the pendulums/of his legs accruing bone, his soft hands/shuddering at his face".

Like the collection's title, there is wildness and magic in these poems." Jennifer Wong, The Poetry Review, 'A book about seeing through the dark, Jemma Borg's Wilder enacts a subtle illumination between the crepuscular and haptic and the dazzling and epigrammatic. Light is life itself, photosynthesising, meteorological, caught in poems similarly, beguilingly, changeable, imbued with a timeless and deep ecological knowing, the fruitful surrender of the human heart.' Linda France, 'Borg offers us a worldview which is profoundly more enchanted... this is a way of relating to life on earth which broadens the horizons of what nature poetry can achieve.'

SZ Shao On the poem 'Marsh Thistle' in Wilder: "Marsh Thistle is a beautifully robust and formal piece of what critic James Wood calls 'serious noticing'. Who had noticed the humble marsh thistle so, before, and dared invest it with such imaginative rigour. It is a paean with something tough and daring about it?"

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
