Gender Studies
"Jeffrey Skinner's new book-his best yet-is powered by a deep bittersweet nostalgia, a wry skeptical intelligence, and a canny sense of humor-all of which he uses to take aim at what is fleeting and tenuous, what is lost and passing away. Gender Studies is a literary accomplishment, a humane achievement. -Edward Hirsch

I enjoyed these poems, but not as much as A Guide to Forgetting. One of my standing New Year's resolutions is to try to read one book of poetry a month. (Another is to read a comedy and tragedy/history by Shakespeare annually.) Some of Skinner's metaphors got me: "This was to be the morning I had coffee with Augustine, trading sins and butter as swallows looped by and and the sun glowed inside the crystal pitcher of milk."
