Description: In this first collection of poems, Rita Gabis explores the erotic against a backdrop of the natural landscape, and the wilder inner landscape of the human heart. Sensual, intimate, probing, these poems are concerned with kinship; the quest for self-knowledge and the elemental desire to connect with the world outside of the self. *The Wild Field* powerfully examines and redefines female sexuality, as the poems consider themes of family, spirituality, conflict and renewal. With a delicate lyricism and an unrelenting boldness the poems celebrate the commonplace details of a physical life. <small>from Google Books</small>
