Extraordinary New Novel FERAL by Nationally Celebrated Novelist and Poet Deena Metzger
FERAL is a glorious novel about the connection between a woman and a "wild" girl she finds up a tree. It blurs distinctions between who is saving whom and looks intimately at the way we define and see our selves. The author uses words, timing and nuance like none other. It is filled with beauty, power, insight and brilliant storytelling.
- (1888PressRelease) February 23, 2011 - "On a tightrope stretched between enlightenment and oneness with nature on the one hand and injury and madness on the other, FERAL teeters wildly. Metzger dips us into the primordial soup, spins us around counter-clockwise, back to the beginning of time. We are then stripped of clothes and ordinary comforts in order to seek the wisdom and self-knowledge locked into the pain that can't and shouldn't be taken away. Instead we must shimmy up the world tree fully naked in order to reconnect with our animal eyes, piss and howl." --Terry Marks-Tarlow, Artist and Author of critically acclaimed Psyche's Veil.
