Opening and closing the book with sequences based on The Junction district of Toronto where Wilson lives, he instills the collection with a sense of place and stillness, grounding other poems ranging across space and time, subject and form--including musings on the magic of the natural world, childhood recollections, references to Bob Dylan's music and Hard Core Logo, and a series of romantically themed poems.
The considerable challenge Wilson undertakes in this collection is perfectly suited to his poetic abilities--to articulate the nearly inexpressible meanings imbued in the most subtle, fleeting moments, and to do so with simplicity and elegance.
