Complicity by Steve Wilson

$15.99

 

In Complicity, poems reveal themselves as miniature sketches executed by the poet with a Creeleyesque paintbrush – with extraordinary appreciation for detail – inviting mindful readers to immerse all of their senses in a rich tableau of feeling and thought. Steve Wilson once again validates his masterful approach to the unique and elliptical compression of language in all its beauty.

–Kristina Kočan, author of Šivje (2018) and Selišča (2021)

 

I love Steve Wilson‘s Complicity. Each line is as carefully wrought as those of the Metaphysical poets of old, yet his voice startlingly fresh and timely, a “surprise light” preaching across shadows. These are poems shaped by our times — uncertainty, disintegration, blurred vision, at times fear. Yet as Wilson demonstrates in Complexity, the power and magic of words is always our salvation.

–W.K. Stratton, author of Betrayal Creek and The Wild Bunch

Questions lie at the heart of Steve Wilson‘s latest collection, Complicity. In poems that wander confidently across a wide range of subjects, places and voices, Wilson works at making sense through musicality, within the movement of lines, upon the interplay of empty space and evocative images, against the pressures of isolation. The effect of Complicity is that we are watching a world being made.

Steve Wilson has published his poetry in journals and anthologies nationwide, as well as in five collections, the latest entitled The Reaches. He lives in San Marcos, Texas and teaches in the MFA program at Texas State University.
