| Publisher Description: This seventh collection from one of South African poetry's under-appreciated masters is possibly his best yet. Metatextual, meticulous and deeply steeped in sentiment, Liminal is an exquisite and at-times startling rumination on lives lived, loves loved and writings written. Skinner's technical mastery of his style and craft, honed over the decades, only brightens the emotions that run through a m lange of travel poems, remembrances, experiments and treatises on the nature of being, literature and friendship. |
