REVIEW: 'deft, witty, and heartwarming' – George Sandifer-Smith reviews Windfalls for Poetry Wales


There's a lovely review of Windfalls in the new issue of Poetry Wales... 

‘Windfalls, Wild’s second collection, delivers another deft, witty, and heartwarming series of poems… Wild writes of overgrowth, decay, and the curious beauty and distraction of these things, as a neighbour’s overgrown fruit tree bombards the speaker's garden… This contrast between the fascination of the untamed and the mundane – bills, meals, old relationships – is a golden thread that passes through the poems within Windfalls.’ – George Sandifer-Smith
