S. Klatt’s new collection creates a taxonomy of mystery, magic, surprise. Like a cloud, it floats through the reader’s mind with playful shapeliness—but like ink, it leaves a darker, and lasting, impression.”—Robert N. Casper, publisher, jubilat In his Iowa Poetry Prize winner, Cloud of Ink, L.S. Klatt offers a sharp eye and precise, resonant lines: gutting an octopus, he’s soaked in ink and “[wears] it like opera gloves in the moonlight.” Then there’s this sharp observation: “Emerson revised:/ wise moments are fire-/flies that scar the countenance ever.” —Library Journal https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fd6bdc967ebfc29b095aa1b/t/5fe16a0c76f612648cbacef2/1608608314942/L+S+Klatt+Author+Photo+Porch+B+%26+W+%2819%29.jpg Home - l.s. klatt is available for readings & other events.

I act as if I have the wherewithal to cross the Great Lake with only the lantern of a tomatillo. That would be bizarre, trusting in a green light. A starless expanse, the wreck of a canoe, a tomatillo warm from my garden. The day that was long lives longer in the nightshade. The beetle goes on unseen, consumed with luxurious eating. I can't, at the taciturn moon, be outraged. I discover a soft spot which looks like blight but is light." The Wilderness After Which Seismicity Editions, Otis Books, 2017 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fd6bdc967ebfc29b095aa1b/t/5fe16d7c23faae37ab223b12/1608609164130/Sunshine+Wound+Cover+Promotional.jpg Books - Sunshine Wound "While the poems in this alert collection rarely depend on specific geography, there is a strong sense of somewhere here. These poems catch the mind in the process of thinking and plot the subtle constellations that arise from the intersection between the actual and the imaginary. Shades and tones and moods are evoked, as we might find in the paintings many of these poems reference. And yet, there are quiet echoes of our real world of human endeavor to provide a sense that something's out-of-whack as well as the sense there's something vital to hope for. This is a deeply satisfying book." —Maurice Manning Sunshine Wound Free Verse Editions, Parlor Press, 2015 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fd6bdc967ebfc29b095aa1b/t/5fe16db8695b893ddd32cc5d/1608609218070/Screen+Shot+2020-12-21+at+9.21.43+PM.png Books - Cloud of Ink “L.

Invention, imagination, thinking invited to test what is new, what hasn't been imagined―these are given pride of place in Klatt’s poems. . . . The book is a field guide for any mind exercising to learn unknown transfers and connecting combinations." ―Dara Wier, author of Reverse Rapture Interloper University of Massachusetts Press, 2009
