If long-dead poet E.A. Robinson and Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell had collaborated todepict a contemporary Midwestern woman in verse, they just might have come upwith Wynona Stone, Caki Wilkinson's sort-of heroine, who is stuck in thehometown she always meant to leave, faced with a life that seems desperatelymediocre. Wilkinson follows in the footsteps of Eliot and Berryman, giving us,in winsome poems, a figure at odds with herself and her surroundings.
The poems in Circles Where the Head Should Be are full of objects and oddities, bits of news, epic catalogues, and a cast of characters hoping to make sense of it all. Underneath the often whimsical surface, however, lies a search for those connections we long for but so often miss, and a wish for art to bridge the gaps.
