Ghost Nets

by John Wilkinson

Ghost Nets is the first US collection by John Wilkinson. Ranging from brief lyrics to elaborately-structured long poems, the collection displays the intense musicality, syntactical intricacy and affective power characteristic of his poetry. But the political, social and economic crises of the period in the US shape Wilkinson’s writing in new ways, more vulnerable and more evidently responsive to others’ vulnerability.

Reviews

[Andrew · Rating 4 out of 5]

Semi-incomprehensible but insanely good sounding poetry about capitalism and various other depressing topics which I am heavily into. Most importantly, whether I understood half of it or not, THE WRITING IS BEAUTIFUL.
