Seven Dreams of Falling, is a re-thinking of the Icarus myth. It's late in the post-modern day and Icarus has grown weary of falling out of the sky over and over: in painting, poetry, and myth. Having decided it's time for a career change, he plots his escape from a cycle of doomed repetition even as family and friends, who are part of his story, find themselves struggling with the idea of letting go.Can Icarus simply fly out of his own life? And if he can, what does that mean for those he leaves behind: Deadalus, a father for whom rules, rituals and quantum mechanics are sacred; Theseus, a fading hero who loves the monster he must kill; Ariadne, the hero's former flame, the monster's half-sister, Lesbian cultural-critic; and the monster himself, The Minotaur, who holds a secret that could destroy them all...or set them free.It's a comedy of mythic proportions. a review of Seven Dreams of Falling,"The dialogue is snappy, off-the-wall, and literate, wielded to great comic effect, like early Woody Allen pieces in The New Yorker. There are references to Brueghel, who painted the iconic image of a falling Icarus; to William Carlos Williams who wrote a poem called "Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus"; to Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle; to feminist theory; and to the violation of culture-defining mythic master narratives. They're all there, parceled and presented in ways you've never seen before."--The Huffington Post "This is Icarus in modern times. [Wilkerson's] revamping of an old tale is a fine example that there is much to be done with what has already been done."--examiner.com

Stone, River, Sky: an Anthology of Georgia Poems brings together the work of more than 140 poets in a collection of sweeping diversity and joyous engagement with the muse. Reaching beyond the simple portraiture of Georgia as a location in time and space, these poems show us Georgia as a haunted reverie, a lyrical gesture, a storm of history, a shifting tableau of desire and imagination. They reveal Georgia, as only poetry can, through the language of its human conditions.
