This Island of Dogs

Poetry as lightning and penetrant, quickening the American experience . . . the return of Alexis de Tocqueville as poet.
â€”Djelloul Marbrook
Eliot Khalil Wilson, in his unforgettable poems, deploys a voice that has the sympathetic beauty of candlelight and of singing in darkness.
â€”Henri Cole
Nothing is too small, or too large, for Eliot Khalil Wilsonâ€™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.
