Item description from seller

Paperback. Wilsons collection is romantic yet world-weary, bereaved yet fortifieda kindred reflection of the heart in the modern world. Publishers WeeklyFieldnotes on Ordinary Love is a collection whose poems approach family, politics, and romance, often through the lens of space: the vagaries of a relationship full of wonder and coldness, separation and exploration. There is the sense of the speaker as a cartographer of familiar spaces, of land he has never left or relationships that have stayed with him for years, and always with the newness of an alien or stranger. Acutely attuned to the heritage of Greco-Roman myth, Wilson writes through characters such as the Basilisk and the Minotaur, emphasizing the intense loneliness these characters experience from their uniqueness. For the racially ambiguous speaker of these poems, who is both black and not black, who has lived between the American South and the Midwest, there are no easy answers. From the fields of Kentucky to the pigeon coops of Chicago, identities and locations blurthe pastoral bleeds into the Afrofuturist, black into white and back again. Wilson weaves an intricate critique of race, gender, and isolation into the context of epics, space dust, and intimacy.
