Short brooding texts, composed under the influence of selected songs, and taking no longer to read than the inspiring song's duration, are accompanied by photographic images that are themselves a response to the mysterious writing. Spanning a number of years, the pieces in this volume chart an evolution of an original form, at the same time obliquely documenting a turbulent period of a life punctuated by joy, love, loss and grief. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraise for James Wilson \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'A writer perfectly attuned to the music of disappointment and the emptiness of crowded places'\u003cbr\u003e-John Muckle, \u003ci\u003eTears in the Fence\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'The poet in Wilson is evident'\u003cbr\u003e-Leslie Raith, \u003ci\u003eCurled up with A Good Book\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'a sequence of searches...for what vanishes, for the transient and evanescent, the indeterminate and enigmatic'\u003cbr\u003e-Mike Freeman, \u003ci\u003eThe Literary London Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'Private and mysterious...the pieces read like moments snatched\u003cbr\u003efrom dreams'\u003cbr\u003e-Terry Pitts, \u003ci\u003eVertigo\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42121649586311,"sku":"9781512078602","price":13.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/17e643779aaae9c32522d6bdf07f9b50.webp?v=1732554999","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/eclectica-canticorum-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
