"This volume includes essays by one of Britain’s important contemporary poets. Wilkinson, now Professor of Practice in the Arts at the University of Chicago, has long been a central figure in experimental poetry circles in Britain. The Lyric Touch contains essays on a number of important and often overlooked poets, and includes stunning pieces on the formidable poetry of J.H. Prynne."
