The Wilderness: New & Selected Poems, 1980-2016 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781597096102)

The Wilderness: New and Selected Poems compiles more than thirty years of Maurya Simon's poetic oeuvre. Her poems combine compelling investigations of the natural world with a sense of spirituality and a modern-day metaphysical sensibility. Simon's writing is lucid and deeply moving, as well as being enriched by history, the classics, and visual art. These are poems that should be read, reread, and savored for the wisdom they impart and for their rich insights into the human condition. This beautiful book is illustrated with seventeen evocative, color-saturated paintings from the WEAVERS SERIES by Los Angeles artist, Baila Goldenthal.
