About this listen

First published in her 1921 collection “Nets to Catch the Wind,” Wylie’s sonnet cycle “Wild Peaches” dramatizes an elopement to an idyllic East: an event which has parallels in her own life. Notice her sumptuous nature descriptions and her final Puritanical twist in the fourth poem.
