This new collection poems, Sketches, is every bit as incisive as we have come to expect from Seb Doubinsky. His gentle words frequently cloak a barbed wit, and each of the poems in this book demands a response from the reader. If you are familiar with Doubinsky's poetry, you will delight in what you read, if you are a newcomer you will have many surprises in store. All readers will, however, share the frisson of pleasure and the sense of revelation that only the best contemporary poetry can bring.
I was born in Paris, in 1963, right in the middle of a western movie, of which my parents never saw the end. I have thereafter split my life between France and the USA, having spent most of my early childhood in Syracuse, and Seattle. After some studies, a lot of wandering and a few strange jobs, I have finally found myself teaching French literature in Denmark, where I have been living since 2007.
Sketches is a sense of wit disguised as poetry. Doubinsky contemporary art is small pieces of the entire picture. The picture that speaks one-thousand words.
