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
