Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What Trudy Knows and Other Poems follows the ground broken by Knute Skinner's last collection The Bears and Other Poems. An unusual group of poems - each a brief telling of a moment in the life of one or more imaginary characters. The poems probe a variety of human relationships. As Aidan Murphy wrote of The Bears: "A stunning collection, full of mystery, cross-purpose, weird and tragic characters. reminiscent of the short stories of the American Raymond Carver loaded with shocks and unspoken nuances of dirty realism." What Trudy Knows continues this radical departure, with verve.Knute Skinner lives in Killaspuglonane, County Clare, his home for the past thirty-eight years. His poetry has appeared widely in Ireland, Britain, Australia and North America. For some years he taught literature and creative writing part of each year at Western Washington University. He has worked as director of the Signpost Press and editor of The Bellingham Review, as well as serving on the editorial board of New Series-Departures. He is the author of 13 collections of poetry, 6 of them with Salmon Poetry, and he has poems in numerous anthologies, including Irish Poetry Now and Or Volge L'Anno-At the Year's Turning: An Anthology of Irish Poets Responding to Leopardi. He is married to Edna Faye Kiel, who is the subject of some of these poems. His most recent collection of poetry, Fifty Years: 1957-2007, was published by Salmon in 2007.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Concerned Attentions is Knute Skinner's first book of poetry since his collected edition, Fifty Years: Poems 1957-2007, appeared from Salmon. As his readers may expect, the new work exhibits his artful and often moving, unnerving, or humourous turns of phrase. Moreover, it displays the poet's continuing fascination with the tenuous relationship between the quotidian and the otherworldly.Knute Skinner was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but for fifty years has had a home in County Clare, where he now lives with his spouse Edna Faye Kiel. His collected edition Fifty Years: Poems 1957-2007, from Salmon, contained new work along with work taken from thirteen previous books. His collection The Other Shoe won the 2004-2005 Pavement Saw Chapbook Award. A limited edition of his poems, translated into Italian by Roberto Nassi, was published by Damocle Edizioni, Chioggia, Italy, in 2011. A memoir, Help Me to a Getaway, was published by Salmon in March 2010. Knute Skinner at his artful, often moving, unnerving, and humourous best.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the early 1990s, in his volume The Bears And Other Poems, Knute Skinner embarked on an extraordinary poetic project the elaboration of short poetic fictions. In the intervening years he has become a master of this charged and compelling form. These short poems are exquisitely compressed narratives delineating and exposing lives often within a relational context. The narrators are a diverse bunch: adulterers, deviants, adventurers, lovers, friends, whose utterances and scraps of dialogue frame the foibles, truths, frailties and enduring alliances between characters strewn across a variety of contexts. In some of the poems there is an undisclosed but implied secret that entreats the reader to return, to name what has been conflated and intuitively sussed, and to define the intriguingly elusive and alluring truth of the poem. There are very few books of poetry that you would run back into a burning building to retrieve. Make no mistake, An Upside Down World is one of them. Frank Golden KNUTE SKINNER recently celebrated his 90th birthday. American by birth, he has had a home in Ireland since 1963. In America he has taught English and creative writing at Iowa University and at Western Washington University. Salmon Poetry has published ten previous books: nine poetry collections and a memoir.
