Alan Wilson believes that both poetry and science are in the business of seeking out the secret relations taht form teh skeleton of our world. Poets and scientists share a habit of probing, of looking at things from odd angles. Animate Objects is his collection of such angles.Animate Objects, Alan Wilsons collection of 35 poems, breathes fresh air into the mundane objects we interact with daily. They come alive, understand, live and breathe, and most of all, they feel. Whether they are the unseeable, like Radio Waves, or the Suitcase that sees the world along with us, the objects of our lives are given life.
