Poetry. Lucille Lang Day is a jack-of-all-trades and her multitude of talents and interests shines through in her new collection of poetry, WILD ONE.

"No one writes poems quite like Lucille Day's sharp-edged, witty, ironic poems; laugh-out-loud funny poems; startling, disquieting, slightly sinister poems; gorgeously wrought, lyrical poems. With unique combination of gifts—including the precision of a mathematician, a botanist's powers of observation, the memoirist's eye for the critical detail—Day captures the moment midair and pins it to the page. WILD ONE is a wonderful collection of those moments."—Maria Falk
