Eight film-makers arrive at a small Swiss hotel on the shores of a luminous lake. Above them, strewn with lights that twinkle in the darkness, looms the towering Rigi mountain.

Wild

Author: Okri, Ben

Year: 2012

Language: English

Type: Book

Content type: Poetry

Publisher: Rider

Physical or Electronic: Physical

Note: Ben Okri is a prolific Booker-Prize winning novelist and essayist, but has published only two collections of poetry. Okri's new volume, 'Wild', is very much suited to this fragile era of change that we are living through today. A period when the delicacy of nature around us is commensurate with the forms and images inside us.
