Other Wild by Emily Zobel Marshall
Peepal Tree Press
Published 2nd October 2025.
These tender, lyrical poems learn from the natural world, through immersion and observation. Finding new ways to reflect, adapt and inhabit, they celebrate the ways our beings and bodies are inextricably entangled with the ever-changing landscapes and heartscapes of woods, rivers, moors and towering mountains. They reflect too on family pasts as a mixed-race family in rural Wales, and on family presents of ever-changing children and the efforts and rewards of sustaining a long relationship. Poems have pungent things to say about the abuses of power in terms of gender and race.
