Book Description

September 15, 1998
This collection presents the most compelling work of Edmund Skellings, poet laureate of Florida. It gathers together poems from five books and includes a reading on compact disc of fifty of them. A foreword by critic Donald L. Kaufman discusses Skellings' major themes and purposes and places him in the tradition of contemporary American letters.

This review is from: Collected Poems: 1958-1998 (Hardcover)
Skellings is a fine inside cat. He can let language do. There are several around who can make language do, but only ones of the first water can let language do. That may be a fine distinction, but only fine distinctions count.
