Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Invoking connections between cinematic and poetic images, The Book of Whispering in the Projection Booth traverses a split between the essential innocence and peculiar severity of children's games. Drawing on films such as Victor Erice's The Spirit of the Beehive and Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep, the art of Yoshitomo Nara, and the writings of Charles Brockden Brown, Wilkinson shifts between lyrical fragments and stark, image-laden prose poems in a series of phantom songs and little yarns: "The messenger picked a powdered tulip and placed it on the frozen windshield of a truck behind the tannery as the tannery smoked.

Review:

"Equal parts flashed-forward backstory and passing sad daydream, The Book of Whispering in the Projection Booth helps us and hips us to the circus of public secrets. I trust this book as far as it can throw me." Graham Foust

Synopsis:
