My Reef My Manifest Array

A journey through exile, memory, and the landscapes of the self.
In John Wilkinson's My Reef My Manifest Array, Sir Henry Bodrugan's leap from a Cornish clifftop becomes a potent symbol of exile, setting the stage for a collection that explores borders, partings, and the search for identity. Wilkinson's poems venture from his childhood home in Cornwall to Portland, Chicago, Sydney, and Busan, creating a cartography of displacement and belonging.

These poems offer a challenging and rewarding experience, inviting readers to unravel layers of meaning and feeling. Combining extended sequences with brief lyrics, Wilkinson's innovative style creates a unique reading experience that resonates long after the final page. Perfect for readers of contemporary poetry and those seeking a deeper understanding of the human condition.
