{"product_id":"cream-of-kohlrabi-9781936797059","title":"Cream of Kohlrabi","description":"Floyd Skloot's new book gathers sixteen stories that combine unsentimental comedy and forceful emotion. As in his award- winning poetry and memoirs, Skloot's fiction shows how individual people, families, and communities face the starkest of challenges, including bodily maladies, the most harrowing of which often come with aging. Yet alienating experience can lead to moments of powerful intimacy, as dark times are lit by sudden incursions of love and hope, and a yearning for community summons poignant expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSkloot, Floyd:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Floyd Skloot is the author of seventeen books, including two volumes of poems from Tupelo Press and the acclaimed memoirs \u003cem\u003eIn the Shadow of Memory\u003c\/em\u003e (2003) and \u003cem\u003eThe Wink of the Zenith\u003c\/em\u003e (2008).
