Red Town

by Judith Skillman

Poetry. "I always learn something rare and mysterious about language and the layered world when I read Judith Skillman. She has a stubborn appetite for beauty and a consistent accuracy of rhythm. She takes extravagant emotions and pares them down into slender, articulate images. I recommend this latest volume to anyone with a penchant for almost painful longing and an 'inclination for romance that can't be satisfied'"--Bart Baxter.

[Janée Baugher · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a celebration of the imagination. Lyrical, ambitious poetry. Students of poetry should read this solid collection to learn what poetry can do, which is ineffable. One of my most cherished books by a masterful poet.
