The poem sustains a meditation on human interdependence, celebrating what draws people together rather than keeping them apart. Reviews highlight its controlled compassion, irony, broad yet precise canvas, and an extensive technical range, alongside themes spanning Russia, liberalism, mass production, and the survival of

poem by JOHN WAIN  \n# WILDTRACK\n\n“Compassion is the predominant feelinginforming John Wain's intensely movingnew work,\"wrote Elizabeth Jennings inThe Spectator,\"but this emotion is con-trolled by a fine irony and by a poeticskill which is flexible enough to expressitself in many forms and cadences.”  \nJohn Wain has for years been a poetof distinction in his native England,whilein this country he is known primarily forhis fiction-notably the classic Hurry OnDown and the more recent The YoungVisitors.Heretofore Mr.Wain has con-centrated on short verse,but in Wildtrackhe has given his energies to a majorpoetic work.  \nDiscontinuous in method,and using alavish and unpredictable variety ofmeans,from finely wrought lyrics to con-versational semi-meter and even prose,Wildtrack builds from many materials一historical,personal,anthropological-toa sustained meditation on the theme ofhuman interdependence.In essence,thepoem is a celebration of all that bringshuman beings together rather than keep-ing them apart.In depth and scope it rep-resents a still more adventurous broaden-ing of John Wain's art and thought.  \nThe London Sunday Times in its re-view of Wildtrack said,“...to do Wainthe honour he deserves for such a su-perbly compassionate piece of versejournalism you need to reread it severaltimes.But you get the message the firsttime.Not that there is a ‘message'in capi-tal letters.The canvas is as broad anddiffuse(and as precise)as a Brueghel.The themes are the death of old Russia,the rise of a foredoomed liberalism in theage of mass production,and the survivalof love:there is no preaching....Thetechnicalrange of Wildtrack,incidentally,is enormous.”  \nTHE VIKING PRESS·NEW YORK  \nJacket design by Victor Reinganum  \nWILDTRACK  \nBooks by John Wain  \n★
