In his prize-winning, debut collection, James Kimbrell demonstrates the power of lyric language to reconfigure memory. The title selection, a poignant ten-part poem, portrays a son's struggle to connect with a father made absent by mental and physical illness. Equipped with the rich imagination of a painter and a poet's love of language, Kimbrell revisits childhood and returns with poems that fathom meaning yet retain a sense of awe.
Kimbrell was a recipient of a Ruth Lilly Fellowship, a "Discovery"/The Nation Award, Poetry magazine's Bess Hokin Award, a Whiting Writers' Award, and fellowships from the Ford Foundation and the NEA. His work has been included in the Bread Loaf Anthology, American Poetry, and Legitimate Dangers. He is currently the director of the creative writing program at Florida State.
