description: Well-known in the Pacific Northwest for his diverse writing talents, Skloot has crafted another book that will be as highly praised as his others. The beautifully crafted poems in this collection probe the depths of extended illness, of love, of perseverance in the face of disaster, of the healing power of music and of art. "The Evening Light" illuminates the importance of the things that give us strength. Floyd Skloot, recipient of the 1996 William Stafford Award, is a novelist, poet, and essayist. His memoir, "The Night Side: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the Illness Experience," was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award. He lives in Amity, Oregon.
