How Wild? is the first to be published in a series of works left by Linda Crane at her death in 2000 and currently being edited by her estate. Her poems have a koan-like directness and poignancy and flow from her life-long practice of Zen meditation and her work as a shamanic healer. They radiate from a refreshingly animist sensibility, where garden flowers, small animals, mountains and human relationships share without obstruction the open space of primordial being. One can feel the nourishing spirit in these poems that so many of her students, clients and friends knew directly from their contact with her. The poems are imbued with an awareness of mortality that amazingly reflects death's gravity while retaining alertness and humor.
