    • Wilson's long-awaited first full collection explores the fault lines between people, and the lines that connect us. Drawing on his experiences as a low paid worker and as a schoolboy boxing champion, Wilson takes a line for a walk between production lines, life lines, sword-lines, and the wafer-thin line between civilization and barbarism. Here is a tough-minded, tender-hearted book, moving from violence towards the possibilities of love and compassion. Wilson works as a nurse in Glasgow.
