He brought with him a bottomless appetite for contemporary poetry, inspired by the Donald Allen anthology <em>The New American Poetry, 1945-1960,\u00a0<\/em>and, once here, came to love and immerse himself in the far-from-Ohio culture of south Louisiana. Here he worked beside another prolific poet who would become a dear friend of Lavender Ink, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavenderink.org\/site\/books\/marthe-reed\/\">Marthe Reed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I discovered Skip&#8217;s work while compiling the anthology I edited for University of Alabama Press&#8217;s Modern and Contemporary Poetics series in 2002, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uapress.ua.edu\/9780817312411\/another-south\/\">Another South: Experimental Writing in the South<\/a><\/em>. While I had prided myself, while working on this collection, in searching out a good sampling of the experimental work that was happening at that time in the South US, I had not found Skip, working a mere 90 miles away in Lafayette; he rather found me. I was frankly shocked to see work of the caliber he sent me coming out of bayou country, and he and I quickly became correspondents and friends. I selected a good sampling of his work for the anthology, and ten years later, when I was at UNO Press, we released his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uno.edu\/unopress\/sheer-indefinite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Sheer Indefinite: Selected Poems, 1991-2011<\/em><\/a>, which includes work from the many books he published along the way with such presses as Potes and Poets, Bloody Twin, ahadada, and BlazeVox.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Skip is now Emeritus at ULL and living in his longtime rural retreat in Sunset, LA, outside Lafayette. He recently (as of February 2026) suffered a stroke which left him, temporarily, aphasic. Ever the experimenter and always at the service of his art, he wrote <em>into<\/em> this aphasia rather than lamenting its onset. The result is a lyric triumph, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavenderink.org\/site\/shop\/late-day\/\"><em>Late Day<\/em><\/a>, and a new novel, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavenderink.org\/site\/shop\/pugs\">Pugs<\/a><\/em>, a neo-picaresque, magical realist joy ride through southern Louisiana and sublimities of human consciousness. These are added to our previous offering of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavenderink.org\/site\/shop\/wired-to-zone\/\"><em>Wired to Zone<\/em><\/a>, which takes the conventions of the detective novel to surreal new heights.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Through May 1, 2026, if you order two or more of Skip&#8217;s titles, use coupon code foxtitles for a 40% discount.<\/p>\n<p>Here, to wet your whistle, a poem from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavenderink.org\/site\/shop\/late-day\/\"><em>Late Day<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>The stage was nearly set<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">eyeballs out, teeth-sharpened, sphincter providing a dusty-theater<br \/>\nlighting, the prop-boy\u2019s navel filled with lint, molecules renouncing<br \/>\ntheir previously assigned arrangements, as curtains rise like the sun over<br \/>\ntenement grime beneath swollen skies, the insouciance of burnt cabbage,<br \/>\nrotting meat to mind.
