Holy.wow.


I never saw this coming. The title poem from Blue has won a Pushcart. (Thank you Jean Huets and Circling Rivers! Thank you Bill Henderson and the Pushcart folks!) I don't know what to say. Instead, a cover of a song by my second born (band name dunebug darling), the focus of my latest book about depression, grief, and the transformative power of art. The song is "If I've Died On You," originally by Karl Blau.



Praise for At Home with Disquiet: Brian Brett, "Erin Wilson’s collection has the range that a dynamic assortment of poems demands in this era. At Home With Disquiet flows like a northern river through the woods and the canyons and homes along the riverbank, its poems like stories, its poems like chants. This is one of the most powerful gathering of poems I’ve read in years..." Roger Mitchell, "Compelling, urgent, lean, Erin Wilson's poems read as though Emily Dickinson's secret love child ran off to Canada and mated with a wolf." Francesca Bell, "Bursting with abundance and beauty... This is a book of dualities, of not odes but laments..." Abbie Copeland, "A rich poetic narrative, the sensual and delicate moments of life, as well as the small but profound details of hunger, desire, and connection..." Nina Murray, "I would call At Home with Disquiet a triumph—however, this poetry grants no illusion(s)..." Contact erinwrites44[at]gmail[dot]com
