WHIRLING BACKWARD INTO THE WORLD
Poems
By Michael Scofield

“For Michael Scofield, words have shape and flavor on the tongue.” (Dana Levin, author of "In the Surgical Theater" and "Wedding Day")

“. . . at last I hear the ice pack cracking,” writes Michael in his poem, 'Ship in a Bottle.' Scofield’s ship is his world of loss, intense love, and the impenetrable walls of war and technology. He encounters icebergs, navigates, and stays upright. We become combatants with him in seeking peace.” (James McGrath, author of "At the Edgelessness of Light")

“These fifty-two poems,” Michael Scofield says, “are fictionalized attempts to accept my existence in the world. They range from dealing with outrage over our lust to make war through regret at botched relationships, to love for Noreen, my wife of eighteen years, to the renewal of energy that comes from listening to the music of J.S. Bach, to the underlying belief that a higher power loves me. Nonsense poems appear throughout the book because nonsense is often all I can make of what seems reality.”

A graduate of Yale University, Michael Scofield received his M.F.A. in Writing from Vermont College in 2002. Afternoons, he teaches creative-writing skills individually to half a dozen students. The author of two chapbooks and an earlier book of poems, "Silicon Valley Escapee," he also has published books on topics as diverse as bird-watching and furniture upholstering. Before moving to Santa Fe in 1995, his wife and he ran a high-tech marketing-communications business from their home in Palo Alto, California.
