John Kinsella has seen them. Bright cigar-shaped objects. As a child they seemed no stranger than much else. Like those lights glowing in the Australian wheatlands. And a short drive away, the alien outback, where people disappeared.
Visitants is a book of poems from that other world: explorations and investigations of the paranormal, of recollection and childhood, of borrowed memories, cults and conspiracies. This is 21st century pastoral, a traditional/ experimental hybrid poetry both extraterrestrial and excavated from terra firma. Kinsella’s poems have the immediacy of eye-witness accounts, yet like all abduction reports they can be deceptive. While some details have been changed, that does not amount to a cover-up.
