Richard Wilkinson: Exploring Proximity and Distance

Description

Finishing Line Press, paperback

Published: May 31st, 2024

Publisher Marketing: 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.

“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
