"Here we have poems that in their own selves sing… Backstage in Paradise … is about life as lived, the thoughts behind thoughts; about the near painful self-delusions necessary to contemporary life … [The] Story Tellers, written for Otto Dix, should be compulsory reading for all those who go by 'accepted fact' and 'certainties'. A collection that looks beyond." — Sam Smith, The Journal
Robin Lindsay Wilson's is a distinctive style — the hallmark short lines that turn with dexterity into a single, often unpunctuated, sentence running through a whole poem. He pushes this style hard in this third collection, finding an assured and beguiling voice. Shrewd and sharp-sighted, this intelligent writing offers alternative perspectives throughout these wry, layered poems. Always inventive, Backstage in Paradise is another highly accomplished collection.
