About the Book

Close Reading illuminates moments in life when everything changes or comes into focus. Its poems of love, illness,artistic endeavour, spiritual and emotional awakening embrace taking time and contemplating deeply the flow of sensory experience. This lucid foray into encounters with artists and writers such as Cezanne, Paul Klee, John Donne, Robert Frost, or Floyd Skloot's mentor Thomas Kinsella, as well as family life, vertigo, and resonant personal places is a gentle, kind and inspiring journey.

Review :
"A poet of remarkable skills, a keen ear, a fierce eye, an open heart" -- Jay Parini "While poets will long enjoy his superb craft, his gift of language, and the music in his poems' meter, I believe that physicians and clergy could learn much about our humanity in this remarkable work. This is a work that will endure, instruct, and delight for many years to come." -- Prairie Schooner. "A poet of singular skill and subtle intelligence" -- The Harvard Review
