This volume, the first to span the forty-year career of Nebraska
state poet William Kloefkorn, brings together the best-known and
most beloved poems by one of the most important Midwestern poets of
the last half century. Collecting work from limited editions and
hard-to-find books, along with Kloefkorn's most anthologized poems,
"Swallowing the Soap" is an indispensable one-volume compendium of
the work of a major American poet. "These poems aim for nothing
less than the impossible: to understand what it means to be alive
and human on this moveable earth," writes the editor, Ted Genoways.
"Swallowing the Soap" is filled with the panoramic landscapes of
Kansas and Nebraska, the stories of the rough and tender people who
live there, and the moments of heartache, brutality, loss, and
redeeming joy that shape their lives. It offers a vision, at once
intimate and expansive, of the world of the Great Plains as seen by
one of its most eloquent poets.
