Description
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.
The political, social, and economic crises of the period in the US shape Wilkinson's writing in new ways, making it more vulnerable and more evidently responsive to others' vulnerability.
