A Moveable Famine John Skoyles by John Skoyles 9781579623586, 1579623581, 2014006118 instant download after payment.

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, & then to the Iowa Writers Workshop. He makes up for his previous lack of romance while at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, & goes on to teach at two colleges, with a stay at Yaddo in between. John crosses paths with Raymond Carver, Robert Creeley & John Cheever, & receives guidance from mentors like Stanley Kunitz & strangers like Allen Ginsberg. A Moveable Famine is, ultimately, the portrait of an individual & an age. Above all, it is a book about identity.
