{"product_id":"9781869403102","title":"Wild","description":"The poems in this sixth collection from a celebrated poet explore the nature of the unknown and the uncultivated, from the oceans and the bush to the emotional realities of the distant past and powerful passion. Travel anecdotes from England link these Antipodean landscapes to family stories and describe the changing shape of relationships. These verses reveal the paradox of the urban and civilized world through a mature and polished language.\u003cp\u003eAuthor Biography: \u003cb\u003eAnne French\u003c\/b\u003e is a strategic advisor at the Foundation for Research and Technology.
