Wilder Centuries by Yael Veitz

A poetic exploration of grief and loss, Wilder Centuries is a chapbook-length collection that scatters across a vast, dreamlike, and oddly familiar universe through the narrator’s journey into processing and self-reflection. Yael Veitz is a New York-based poet whose work has been published in Coffin Bell, Tilde at Thirty West, Sheila-Na-Gig, and Gyroscope Review, among others. A full list of publications can be found at www.yaelveitz.com/publications. Her work reflects her geographically-diverse background, her work in mental health, and, occasionally, her love for her cats. “Yael Veitz’s Wilder Centuries is a harsh-yet-beautiful catalog of cruelties. Veitz’s words, glazed in a cool and level tone, reveal an animalistic speaker—one who cannot be stopped in their search for retribution. These poems absolutely snarl.” — Veronica Bennett, poet + founder of Bullshit Lit  “Yael Veitz is a masterful poet. Wilder Centuries is a divine experience. Three lines into this book & it had hooked
