'You will often read reviews praising the poet's 'fresh voice' ; Philip Neilsen, author of the poetry collection Wildlife of Berlin, does not have a fresh voice. The poems in this book re remarkable for their everyday quality. At the risk of likening Neilsen's work to an endlessly infuriating internet cliche, these poems are relatable. They do not feel fresh, the feel like daily life, full of charisma and cynicism. The reader doesn't have to work hard to understand the world Neilsen is describing - we live in it.' (Introduction)

    'Not knowing how to start this editorial, I lazily google ‘belong’. A grossly simplified e-dictionary pops up to tell me that ‘belong’ comes from Middle English: ‘be-’ + an archaic form of ‘long’. But rather than investigate longen like the diligent researcher I should be, I am temporarily sidetracked; I think intensely about ‘being long’, consider stretching out on the ground, pointing my toes, elongating my spine, straightening my fingers. I think about being the longest me I can be.' (Jessica Wilkinson Editorial introduction)
