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. \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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1512078603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781512078602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.33d","brand":"James Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077706543359,"sku":"9781512078602","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94bb6be3-b061-4b69-95b0-b44647953ffc.jpg?v=1685471358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eclectica-canticorum-james-wilson-9781512078602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
