Book Synopsis
A long-awaited second collection of original poems by Ryan Wilson that 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.

Trade Review
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." - Shane McCrae

"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." - Rodney Jones

"In Ghostlight is a major book. With it, Wilson places himself among the best poets of his generation." - Dana Gioia
