The Malvern Aviator

In language that is both precise and strange, Skinner's poems tip certainties on their heads, making familiar objects in the world a mountain is not what it seems, a skull contains a universe. Alongside this process of `making-strange' lies a deep connection with sound, color, temperature, and scent that brings the poems fully to life. These poems engage with form - the cento, the cinquain, the unrhymed sonnet, cut-ups and free verse - in enigmatic, other-worldy ways that constantly surprise and please.
