John Wilkinson

Opis

Schedule of Unrest selects from John Wilkinson's collections of poetry published from 1974 to 2008. A growing readership is seeking ways into an impassioned and beautiful body of writing. The unfamiliarity of its surfaces and soundscapes have too long delayed its appreciation. This book, selected by a scholar of Wilkinson's work, will further enlarge his readership, as well as providing a convenient resource for teachers. In one volume, both Wilkinson's troubled internal lyric and the breadth of his social and political engagements are well represented.

Recenzje

John Wilkinson's Effigies Against the Light for its sheer verbal inventiveness and unheard-of melodies made much contemporary poetry seem straightforwardly pedestrian.
