Although grief is at the forefront of these poems, The Wild Delight of Wild Things is a simple love letter to Turner's late wife, poet Ilyse Kusnetz (1966-2016). The poems are also a love letter to our planet during the ongoing sixth mass extinction. Intertwining this immense grief, Turner explores the hybrid borderlands of genre, and the meditations on love and loss blur the boundaries between poetry and lyric prose. In Italian, the word "stanza" is rooted in the word "room."

L'autrice phare de néo-poésie nous propose un recueil plein de sensibilité et de force. Grâce à sa poésie hautement intime, on suit Pauline Bilisari sous les averses de la vie, plus ou moins violentes, parfois orageuses, mais avec la perspective de la douceur qui arrive. Elle nous entraîne dans un pas de deux qui explore le deuil, les désillusions, l'envie de vivre qui quelquefois vacille, mais aussi l'enfance et la sérénité retrouvée.

Loving the Dying is a collection of poems on life’s different stages. Set against the backdrop of a conflicted society, Len Verwey looks at a person’s life from youth and growing up to aging and dying, considering what the ineluctable reality of death might imply about how we should think about our lives. These are poems of uncertainty rather than certainty. The more overtly biographical ones end with as many questions as they start with, and there is often sympathy for the outsider or the marginalized voice.
