Premise of Light

by Judith Skillman

📖 The Scoop

Poetry. "Sometimes surreal, always evocative, Judith Skillman's poems seem to well up from an inner hot spring. This collection is the latest in a lengthy and rich body of work. Not merely a keen observer, Skillman interprets for us the world around her, in a precise and emotional vocabulary, drawing from history--her own included--as well as the spheres of art and science to offer unique, often astonishing, associative connections."--Sean Bentley

"As Skillman's poems seek to understand rather than deny suffering, they rarely conclude in clear resolution; rather, they acknowledge that wounds live unhealed and questions exist unanswered ... (the) poems traverse through changes that manifest from living a full life. Her metaphors suggest not shrinking from scars that result from these changes, but instead learning to embrace and accept the wound as an illuminating source."--Marcene Gandolfo

"Skillman mixes a sliver of pain, a kernel of tenderness, a twist of satire, perversity, and bitterness, creating from it all a potent sauce of raw truth."--The Pedestal Magazine

"Few poets seize the natural world in the tender, particular ways that poet Judith Skillman does...For a poet who sees this world as does Skillman, nature's beauty and cruelty is ours as well."--Chicago Sun-Times Book Review

Genre: Poetry / General (fancy, right?)
