They traverse childhood and adulthood like “amoebic clouds.\/\/Blue, inescapable blue.” There is a lot of blue in this work: “a brief minute blue above the neighbors’ rooftops,” “dawn is a blue glass of water,” “a lake of blue trees.” In these far-ranging poems, Nicholas Skaldetvind writes from “the bluest water in America wide-eyed and unsure and loud.” It’s a collection you’ll want to do more than dip a toe in; you’ll want the full immersion.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e—Subhaga Crystal Bacon, author of \u003cem\u003eTransitory\u003c\/em\u003e, forthcoming from BOA Editions\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Nicholas Skaldetvind’s \u003cem\u003eIn Keeping with the Noisy Earth\u003c\/em\u003e is perhaps most impressive in its uncanny ability to bring together innovation and affect. Unlike so many contemporary works that pursue artistic risk to the detriment of emotional resonance, Skaldetvind experiments—with syntax, musicality, and narrative convention—in a way that reminds us to approach both life and language with a sense of vulnerability. Indeed, he has created \"exultant and free cathedrals\" of gorgeous imagery and incredible lyricism. Nicholas Skaldetvind is an exciting and necessary voice in contemporary poetry.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e—Kristina Marie Darling, author of \u003cem\u003eDaylight Has Already Come\u003c\/em\u003e \u0026amp; \u003cem\u003eX Marks the Dress: A Registry\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"With language as simple as a cracked skull, Skaldetvind shows you vistas of his travels and what his crisp nature visions provided. \u003cem\u003eIn Keeping with the Noisy Earth\u003c\/em\u003e makes you feel lucky the hungry bear didn’t get him.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e—Kurt Hemmer, Harper College, editor of the \u003cem\u003eEncyclopedia of Beat Literature \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNicholas Skaldetvind is an Italian-American poet and papermaker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nicholas Skaldetvind","offers":[{"title":"Chapbook","offer_id":44128093831483,"sku":"INKENS","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download (PDF)","offer_id":44128093864251,"sku":"INKENSe","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0062\/4420\/4614\/products\/noisy5front.png?v=1674419819","url":"https:\/\/bottlecap.press\/products\/inkens","provider":"Bottlecap Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
