Eclectica Canticorum is a collection that marks a closing stage in James Wilsons experiment with a form of prose poetry, musical in its origins, that he has dubbed the divertissement. Short brooding texts, composed under the influence of selected songs, and taking no longer to read than the inspiring songs duration, are accompanied by photographic images that are themselves a response to the mysterious writing. Spanning a number of years, the pieces in this volume chart an evolution of an original form, at the same time obliquely documenting a turbulent period of a life punctuated by joy, love, loss and grief.Praise for James WilsonA writer perfectly attuned to the music of disappointment and the emptiness of crowded placesJohn Muckle, Tears in the FenceThe poet in Wilson is evidentLeslie Raith, Curled up with A Good Booka sequence of searches...for what vanishes, for the transient and evanescent, the indeterminate and enigmaticMike Freeman, The Literary London JournalPrivate and mysterious...the pieces read like moments snatchedfrom dreamsTerry Pitts, Vertigo
