Description:

"The Landscape and Architecture of a Woman" is a fearless and shameless examination of self and soul, a liberating work that empowers women to own their sexuality, to live their sexuality without apology. Ms. Wild carves pain, longing and bliss from the same stone, availing a better understanding of what it is to be a woman- a woman in love, a woman in pain, a woman seeking to know, to understand. Sometimes raw and abrasive, often eloquent, always with her very distinct meter, Wild writes with the sexual proclivity of Anais Nin, the spirituality of sufi poets Rumi and Hafiz, and the love-lust of Pablo Neruda. A must-read for lovers of poetry, lovers of women, and those who seek to better understand the landscape and architecture of a woman.

Poetry is an understatement. [ No Rating ] 1 Dec 2007 (updated 1 Dec 2007)
I am a writer.And i love to read books.But poetry is not my thing,for one reason:no one usually writes my style of poetry.I find poetry boring,repetitive and just pointless.But when i found her poetry,i was amazed.More than amazed,i actually found a poetry book that felt like my journal came to life more elegantly and beautifully put.I find her writing,very inspirational,you can see shes felt a lot of pain and destruction.But she just seems to come through it all so vibrantly.I just really think her poetry is one in a million.The only one being different than traditional,and you can tell it has emotion in it,unlike some poetry that just seems to be the motions of writing.

Wild's poetry will reach out and shake you. Her subject is love and hate and sex and longing, described with a sometimes painful honesty. Wild’s writing moves from the very physical and tactile: “I taste myself on your fingertips” and “my wrists bound by the length of her hair,” to the abstract and internal: “life is this, / a melody whose lyrics I write on your skin", and “A distant tolling of bells sounds that time has come. / I stand to be found worthy or not.” It is this combination of the language of body and of soul that makes Wild’s poetry so powerful. Her work offers us a glimpse of the intensity that lies in all our hearts under heavy layers of duty, convention, and fear. At the end, the reader, will long, with Wild, for the lover, and the self “who will let me be the devastating creature I can be.”

Miss Wild's Book The Landscape and Architecture of a Woman is a wonderful book, full of wonderful poems. She is truly a gifted poet, and her poems deserve to be reads by all. She is deeply in touch with and cognoscente of her own being and place in the world. Also, she has a deep connection to her emotions.

While reading these poems, they awoke in me great memories. Some poems like "What I Desire" spoke to me in both light and dark ways...the interplay between the two was great. This poem also awoke in me memories of my past as a practitioner of wicca. This poem, in my opinion, is the best of the ones I've seen.

Poems like "Ice" are prolific and smoothly written. It details a lucid comparison between the fleetingness of love [also it's power] and melting ice. This poem is a great poem to whet the appetite for the excellence to come.

In summation, Miss Wild's book of poetry is amazingly written. For her poems not to be read at convention should be a crime.

Landscape is raw, direct, deep, introspective and a very interesting read. Many issues arise from the spoken words of this book and the key is to write and not be afraid. This book and writer is not afraid to "air" it out. Good job.

If you love raw, in-your-face poetry that isn't ashamed of it's potency, this is your book.

She truly is the modern day Anne Sexton.
