No Elegies
ISBN: 978-0692366189
"Lindsay Wilson is working that old, necessary literary alchemy: in speaking so beautifully, so honestly about the world he inhabits, he inhabits us. 'You are,' Wilson writes, 'what the paltry thief has left.' Though Wilson is talking to himself—listing his own betrayals, mis-rememberings, and griefs—we can't help but take stock of our own selves, our own souls. That's not a word I use lightly. From front to back, No Elegies is a soulful book."Order on Amazon

The Day Gives Us So Many Ways to Eat
ISBN: 978-1625494184
"Lindsay Wilson's The Day Gives Us So Many Ways to Eat is a stunning collection of hunger and loss that peripatetically circles through the austere and magnificently desolate vistas of the American West. In these haunted and haunting poems, Wilson painstakingly unravels legacies of personal and familial trauma, mental illness, addiction, and violence. These are poems that uncouple false binaries of predator and prey, while dismantling generational and geographical heritages of toxic masculinity."Order on Amazon

Because the Dirt Here is Poor
"Wilson's poems traverse America's western deserts and dry lands as well as the soulful longings of the human heart. In these disquieting times, Wilson has written a thoughtful and important collection when we need it most."Order from Main Street Rag Bookstore

Black-Footed Country
"[Black-Footed Country] is, of course, an elegy to the narrator's mother, and is as gorgeously sensitive as it is chilling. These poems resonate and surprise with their frankness and beauty, their imagination and rich language."Order from Liquid Light Press
