Skip Fox’s new collection of poems, Late Day, is haunted by endings: his father\u2019s death, his own approaching end, and, especially, the projected end of the human species in Earth\u2019s sixth major extinction. In the volume\u2019s forty-two pieces\u2014whose subjects range from the nature of self, words, Yahweh, nothingness, appositives, prepositions, dreams, expression, and the quotidian\u2014extinction of species appears like a Wagnernian leitmotif or a common thread. The poetry is experimental, and many pieces are in demanding spatial forms, perhaps challenging the reader\u2019s notion of the arbitrary. At first glance, perhaps, dark, the work is leavened with humor, mind\u2019s play, and the belief that even as we approach our conclusion we can still pay attention to spirit\u2019s essentials, have a deeper appreciation of nature and beauty, and discover a profound sense of meaning in this late historical stage.<\/p>\n

Praise for Skip Fox and\u00a0Late Day<\/em><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a vision both dark and luminous, the ever astonishing Skip Fox offers us a poignant if burning vision of the current moment.

With\u00a0wired to zone<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Skip Fox has crossed tech-noir with bio-punk to create something maddened and strange and utterly new, a kind of blue acid noir licking the flaps of its own pockets and not to be denied. A gorgeous and lurching dizziness of a novel.
\n\u2014Brian Evenson<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Welcome to the nuance parade of corporate genetic leftovers where “freaked and fractured thinking” reigns supreme. With “a pathos past all measure” amusing the muses is as primary to Skip Fox as smoking or breathing. Inside his “chemical stew” we’re always almost nearly there and he arrives just in time, lurking at the threshold, leading us while being led.
\n\u2014Micah Ballard<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Praise writing that tends exuberantly to its composition, enriched by long study and practice, language all generative actuality; characters that exist through act, rather than to represent actors; story not as plot but match with the Deep Blue of fatal logic; a hero stretched from Apuleius to Chandler, as well as two distressed demoiselles: one reincarnates Phoebe Zeitgeist, the other blends Cloned Dolly and Marilyn Monroe. Somebody is threatening zero, nothing, loss of neutrality, the ultimate MacGuffin. Passion of the digital. Them versus whatever we think we are. Praise this book by reading it. You will find it novel.
