Reviews
I have been waiting for a poet like Ryan Wilson, an unapologetic formalist whose metrical agility is precise and varied, and whose uncamouflaged rhymes unleash an intelligence that is at once wild and sensible., These are brilliantly clear poems to read and read again, poems to study and to love. Few American poets working in rhyme and meter today could write poems to match them., Ryan Wilson is an excellent poet and In Ghostlight an outstanding book that proves, at least to this reader, that poetry in meter and rhyme is enduringly vital, necessary, and passionately engaged with such universal themes as place, history, and ancestors, both familial and literary. Wilson's command of craft is at the highest echelons of accomplishment and the inheritor of such august poets as Anthony Hecht, Richard Wilbur, and even Theodore Roethke., Fog fills the hollows of the land and the contours of Ryan Wilson's soul in his masterful new book of poetry, In Ghostlight . This volume is a stunner, blistering quietly through shrouds of fog and mist and longing., In Ghostlight is a major book. With it, Wilson places himself among the best poets of his generation.

Synopsis
In Ghostlight, a long-awaited second collection of original poems by Ryan Wilson, considers the haunting of the contemporary mind. With virtuosic formal variety and masterful craft, these poems range from rural America to Italy to the Holy Land, as they chronicle the dynamism of a spiritual odyssey toward the eternal through both past and present. Wilson employs sonnets, Pindaric and ballad stanzas, alliterative hemistichs in imitation of the Anglo-Saxon, and other ancient forms to enlighten the modern experience, from smartphones and Facebook to jumbo jets, entangled in a reciprocal relationship with myths, sacred literature, and traditions. Revealing that the past and the everlasting can inform the present at any given moment, In Ghostlight conveys how a vision acknowledging this dual illumination helps us understand ourselves and others in our fraught, complex era.
