John Skoyles

4.9/5 (23250 ratings)

Description:This is the story of a boy from working class Queens who discovers poetry, an unlikely obsession that leads him from a Jesuit college's all male, sex-starved campus to the St. Mark's Poetry Project, and then to the Iowa Writers Workshop. He makes up for his previous lack of romance while at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, and goes on to teach at two colleges, with a stay at Yaddo in between. John crosses paths with Raymond Carver, Robert Creeley and John Cheever, and receives guidance from mentors like Stanley Kunitz and strangers like Allen Ginsberg. A Moveable Famine is, ultimately, the portrait of an individual and an age. Above all, it is a book about identity.John Skoyles wrote an op-ed essay about this book which appeared in The New York Times on Sunday, June 22, 2014.http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/22/opi...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
