Reviews
THE SPARKS (TALL LIGHTHOUSE)
 * Hand + Star -- Each poem in The Sparks is rich with unusual turns of phrase and glimmering original images bringing the elemental forces down onto the pub, the bedroom, and the many walks in-between.
 * Rogue Strands -- Wilkinson’s work is meticulously structured and layered, displaying great turns of phrase such as “the sudden void of shadows” or “the prayer-still street”, yet his language isn’t flashy.
