"Ed Skoog is a master of mischief and misdirection...I find a unique alchemy in this book: a deep sadness combined with a broad humor, and most of all a sense that I'm being allowed to see a poet watching himself in the midst of evolving, captured in motion like a series of time-lapse photographs." Susan Cohen,
Composed during long walks throughout Washington, DC, and careful to err on the side of recklessness,
finds its essential unity in a fixation on American events and landscapesfrom Yellowstone and New Orleans to Kansas and the Pacific Northwest. Throughout, Ed Skoog maintains an openness to discovery that unveils rare and prismatic views into his country.
A native of Topeka, Kansas, Ed Skoog's first book of poetry,
(Copper Canyon Press), was published in 2009. His poetry has appeared in
,
, and
. He teaches at the University of Montana and lives in Missoula, Montana
