Official synopsis Publisher
After penning his previous collection The Lane and Other Poems, Wilson remains ensconced in his Hocking Place residence – known locally as ‘the Lane’ – while compiling this new selection. Though soon he will graduate from this phase of life, the Lane has proven a fecund wellspring of experiences and inspiration. Wilson is not yet ready to depart from this creative oasis. As he explains: ‘One guy we knew well once told me, ‘I do like to drink at the Blue Doors, ‘ as if our very doorstep was his favourite pub. The name stuck, and now it graces this book’s cover as well.
