— Review of Wildlife of Berlin Philip Neilsen , 2018 selected work poetry

'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)
