"Still
in Soil is a poetic commentary on life,
the world around us, and human nature. The
majority of the pieces in the collection
are in fragmented prose form, as if the author's
thoughts magically appeared on the page as
the ideas flowed."

Still in
Soil, by Kyle Torke, is a collection
of new poems by a great poet.
"Avocados,
grenades, chicken heads, galaxies, diabetes,
bra-straps, hooks, gallows, razors, mice
tails, a 'hot air balloon hung from power
lines like a cat some teenager strangled
and displayed' - found objects in Kyle
Torke's hinterlands. Still in Soil refuses
to ignore the world and, in so doing, reminds
us of the fallibility and necessity of both
memory and imagination. It is the poet's
work to find forms to contain experiences
most of us fear to understand. In this, Torke's
second collection, he has done his work well."
Donald Anderson,

winner of the John Simmons Short Fiction
Award
