At the Blue Door

After penning his previous collection The Lane and Other Poems Wilson remains ensconced in his Hocking Place residence - known locally as 'the Lane' - while compiling this new selection. Though soon he will graduate from this phase of life the Lane has proven a fecund wellspring of experiences and inspiration. Wilson is not yet ready to depart from this creative oasis. As he explains: 'One guy we knew well once told me 'I do like to drink at the Blue Doors ' as if our very doorstep was his favourite pub. The name stuck and now it graces this book's cover as well.
