The Courier's Archive & Hymnal by Joshua Marie Wilkinson

Poetry. THE COURIER'S ARCHIVE & HYMNAL navigates a purgatory made nearly pastoral by a necrotic vision of consumptive rivers, ghost mazes, corpsethieves, and stalkerish moons. With an exacting, halted diction, Joshua Marie Wilkinson swerves us deeper toward the source of this dark archive, stirring our courier to contemplate Basho, Beckett, Kafka, Matta-Clark in hope of materializing a name for no becoming, stammering through wind. The result is a hypnotizing meditation of mood, mind, perdition, and image. In other words, book three of Wilkinson's No Volta pentology picks up exactly where its predecessors SELENOGRAPHY and SWAMP ISTHMUS leave off. That is to say, beyond the good myths, to a decidedly singular poetic territory recasting the future freshly black.

Joshua Marie Wilkinson is the author of several poetry collections and the editor of five poetry, essay, and conversation anthologies. He is based in Tucson, where he publishes The Volta and oversees Letter Machine Editions, a small publisher. He works at the University of Arizona as an assistant professor.
