Synopsis

Winner of the Northern Promise Award, presented by New Writing North as part of the Northern Writers' Awards.
"Filmic, Phantasmagoric, super-realist - in For Real, Ben Wilkinson shoots the rapids of our emerging twenty-first century's infra- and extraordinary, in a stylish, poised lyric voice that looks built to last."
- Paul Farley
"Ben Wilkinson is one to watch. A fine poet with a deft ear and a nice sense of how the external world presses on the inner one."
- Nick Laird
