This Island of Dogs

By Eliot Khalil Wilson

Poetry as lightning and penetrant, quickening the American experience . . . the return of Alexis de Tocqueville as poet. -Djelloul Marbrook Eliot Khalil Wilson, in his unforgettable poems, deploys a voice that has the sympathetic beauty of candlelight and of singing in darkness. -Henri Cole Nothing is too small, or too large, for Eliot Khalil Wilson's capacious imagination. Poetic descendant of Whitman, Ginsberg, and Fernando Pessoa, Wilson catalogues, capers, and frolics through a multitude of lives with a relentless wit that also, fortunately, often breaks through to tenderness, or rage. Wilson challenges both our hatreds and our sympathies. I cheer these wonderfully readable, truth-telling poems. -Maggie Anderson
