“The poems in Richard Wilkinson‘s Near Afar travel from the moon to moonshadow, from California to Kobe, from Afar (in Ethiopia) to tender reflection and love. An engaging and delightful read.”

–Priscilla Long, author of Crossing Over: Poems and Holy Magic

 

In Near Afar, Wilkinson takes their reader on a journey–traversing from moments that may seem mundane or commonplace to glimpses of whimsical musings and thoughtful contemplations, all intertwined with a rich tapestry of word play, memory and form.

–Jackie Fender, Founder Creative Colloquy

Retiring after nearly fifty years of working served as the spark for Near Afar. The book celebrates a journey of adventure, romance, and wonder while wrestling with that age old question, “What’s next?” Blending the playful with the deeply reflective, Near Afar employs a wide range of poetic forms commensurate with the diversity of experiences it covers. The reader will find ekphrastic, concrete, found, abecedarian, villanelle, and prose poetry among the more familiar lyric styles.

Richard Wilkinson lives and writes in Tacoma, Washington. He is indebted to the 2013 Whidbey Island (WA) Writers Conference and Seattle’s Hugo House writing center for his development as a poet.
