main content Baskin’s Newest Poetry Book Release: SKULL
Amy Baskin’s latest poetry book titled SKULL, was released by The Poetry Box last month with early praise.
“These are poems written while concussed,” Baskin said. “That’s the short tag line that I’ve found myself using to describe this assemblage of work dealing with trauma, brain injury, and healing in our collectively trying times. My spouse and in-house artist Jason Baskin visually captured how my brain felt for years though evidently I appeared (relatively) normal on the outside.”
Baskin is a Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee, an Oregon Literary Arts Fellow, and an Oregon Poetry Association prize winner. She is the administrative coordinator for the departments of English and History, and for the Fir Acres Writing Workshop.
Baskin will be featured in the following events this month:
Friday, January 10: UpUp Books, 7 p.m. PT, with Elisa Carlson and Mari Matthias
Saturday, January 11: (Zoom) The Poetry Box LIVE, 4 p.m. PT, with David Goodrum, Penny Johnson, and Shawn Pittard (Register here for link)
