I’m a little late getting this posted, but review David Breithaupt has some lovely things to say about Killing the Murnion Dogs over at Newpages. From the review:
At his best, Wilkins recalls the rural flavor of Wendell Berry, but in a world all his own. Read him. This is your life; wrap your cracked hands around this book.

My essay “Eleven Kinds of Sky,” featured alongside striking photographs by Lisa M. Hamilton, is in the January/February issue of Orion. As always, lots of good stuff in this issue, including the first installment of Luis Alberto Urrea’s “Wastelander” column and a short story by Pam Houston.
