Reader reviews for The Wild Iris
Review summary
Readers largely praised the collection’s spare, introspective voice and its close attention to nature, grief, and self-interrogation. Seasoned poetry readers found the work layered and resonant; one newcomer felt overwhelmed and suggested it may not be ideal as a first poetry book. Overall sentiment was strongly positive and in line with its major awards.
