Floyd Skloot's Far West intertwines the past and present, as time
alternates between racing and standing still. Crafting poems that
confront memory lapses and painful recollections, Skloot traces his
moments of purest perception and expression: his wife practicing
music, his daughter finding delight in the presence of wildlife,
Vladimir Nabokov able to lose himself when playing goalie in a
soccer match. A poem about a forgotten word or name can lead to one
about a song that refuses to stop playing over and over in our
minds, or to an evocation of a long-dead futuristic novelist who
comes back from the afterlife to find a world even stranger than
any he imagined. In poems that range from traditional forms and
short lyrics to longer narratives and free verse, Skloot explores
how emotional experiences- memory and forgetting, love and loss,
reverie and urgent attention- all come together in our search for
coherence and authentic self-expression.
