Liminal

by Douglas Reid Skinner

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 mélange of
travel poems, remembrances, experiments and treatises on the nature of
being, literature and friendship.
