Vievee Franciss poems engage many of the same concerns as her poetic predecessors-faith in a secular age, the city and nature, aging, and beauty. Words certainly do not fail as Francis sets off into the wild world promised in the title. The wild here is not chaotic but rather free and finely attuned to its surroundings. The reader who joins her will emerge sensitized and changed by the enduring power of her work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49681135173872,"sku":"NEW0810132435","price":24.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/forest-primeval-poems-kingsley-tufts-poetry-award","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
