Poetry. Ripped from surveillance: a last line from a first book now a quarter-century old marks out the pathway of disinheritance which English poet John Wilkinson has blazed ever since. Here that first, final look takes us past Useful Reforms and on, through Prior to Passage to Sweetness and Light, backslicing many others both included and absent, from Maudie's Umbrella to Ondine's Curse, dispersed to the outer/inner band of Oort's Cloud in a kaiserschnitt of sovereign dismemberment.
