| Other Info | A poet who got to Seattle by way of a Kansas upbringing, and then years in southern California and New Orleans, Ed Skoog is both here and still on the move. He is currently based in Seattle and Washington, D.C., where he is a writer-in-residence at George Washington University. Wherever he has been, or is, Ed Skoog is the author of Mister Skylight (Copper Canyon Press), a lovely debut book-length collection of poems. "Ed Skoog's poetry is so ambitious it takes my breath away. In it, he creates dense narratives, sees patterns, sees dissimilitudes, knows how to fishtail with images and turn with ease, knows how to braid pop culture into small personal melancholies and into larger generosities." – The Stranger. |
