Summary: Human Emotions Brought to Life Through Flowers
Comment: Wild Iris, a book of poems, which allows one to visualize the personification of human emotions as a metaphor of flowers. Louise Gluck author, has masterfully taken us on a journey where time lies between alpha and omega, with boundaries that circumscribe within the realms of heaven and earth. What better way to travel, than through the "eyes" of the flowers scattered throughout the gardens of the world. This metaphor, when applied as reflective analogies pertaining to the essence of life and human experiences, creatively bonds the writer with the reader as one entity, exploring the aftermath of conscious thoughts pondered for insightfil wisdom. As the speaker in most of her poems, Louise Gluck joins us in kinship with feelings of pain, conscious awareness, and eternal truths. Therefore, we are escorted with her through an imaginary garden of flowers as parallel partners of human spirits combined with similar thoughts of awareness. Once this relationship has articulately interwoven its self within our highest condition of natural development, better known as maturity, reality takes its rightful place. perhaps, this can be perceived as the art of surviving the processes of living. I found myself completely enticed, and captivated with this bouquet of flowers, strangely mated with the imagery of petals and sepals used as portraits to describe personal feelings of love, pain and psychological trauma. I find the poems of " The Wild Iris," to be brilliant, intimately filled with emotions, and insightful with heartfelt reflections regarding the complexities of emotional survival.

Summary: A Fascinating Collection of Poems
Comment: The Wild Iris by Louise Gluck is an intriguing collection of poems centered around life forms which seem to be present in her garden. She has interwoven her own personal experience and feelings into the poem, often, I felt, projecting her views onto the subjects of her poems. I finished reading the poems with the impression that I had learned a good deal about the author personally. On many occasions, she brought her husband and son by name into her poems revealing a little about the different relationships she experiences daily. She has a fascinating perspective on life and the collection is well worth taking a look at.
