Shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize 2022 and the winner of the Third Prize in the Laurel Prize 2022, Jemma Borg's second collection, Wilder, invites readers to explore the deeper and more elusive aspects of our mental and physical lives. These meticulous and sensuous poems demonstrate a restless intelligence, seeking to uncover what we are losing and urging us to "break ourselves each against the beauty of the other."
The poems in Wilder engage with various themes and experiences, from revisiting Dante's forest of the suicides to exploring the saturation of new motherhood and encountering a psychedelic cactus. These poetic acts of excavation 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." The collection invites us to consider wildness as a process of becoming, reforming, and growth, rather than a state of denial.
In a time when we cannot afford denial, the poems in Wilder suggest that by being willing to enter despair, we might find what Gary Snyder described as "the real world to which we belong" and recover the means to save what we are destroying. The collection challenges us to confront the realities of our existence and to consider the ways in which we can reclaim our connection to the natural world.
Through its poetic exploration of the human experience, Wilder reminds us of the importance of embracing our own wildness and the complex web of life that we are a part of. The collection invites readers to engage in a process of self-reflection and recalibration, to consider the ways in which we can restore our relationship with the natural world and find a path forward in a time of great uncertainty and upheaval.
