<DIV><B>Poetry from a writer celebrated as one of the most distinctive voices of her generation</B><BR /><BR />Among the thirty-five poems in&#160;<I>Skylight&#160;</I>are sonnets, sestinas, and free verse forms on topics ranging from politics to architecture and science. In one volume, Muske-Dukes, National Book Award finalist and former Poet Laureate of California, incorporates multitudes, unified by her lyrical style and rapier-sharp observations. The sonnet &ldquo;Fireflies&rdquo; explores a strained relationship that is healed, for one moment, in a nighttime walk lit by the pulsing signals of firefly life. &ldquo;The Funeral&rdquo; confronts the stark playground atmosphere in the wake of a child&rsquo;s funeral. In the melancholy and unforgettable title poem, an &ldquo;apartment in the sky&rdquo; in New York City spins before the reader&rsquo;s eyes.<BR /></DIV>
