Coach House Books, paperback Publication Date: September 10, 2024 Publisher Marketing: The sky's the limit in these funny and sad head-in-the-clouds poems. The Sky Is a Sky in the Sky is a laboratory of poetic approaches and experiments. It mines the personal and imaginary lives of Stuart Ross and portraits of his grief and internal torment, while paying homage to many of the poet's literary heroes. It contains new entries in Ross's ongoing Razovsky poems, prose poems, a remix of an entire poetry book by dear friend Nelson Ball, a couple of collaborative poems, some one-line poems, and lots more. In an era of thematic poetry and conceptual poetry books, this collection is a celebration of possibilities and miscellany. Show more
