In The Future Perfect: A Fugue, Eric Pankey tells us 'what matters is the miscellany, ' our 'unkempt days loosely stitched to the next....' Still, he'll confess, 'one could lose sleep making sense of the grab bag of all the this and the that.' How can we not 'project into the future, ' not 'see the past as portent?' he writes. 'How does one avoid thinking about the void?' One disquieting question follows upon another in this chapbook's single ...

ALIAS is Eric Pankey's second collection of prose poems from Free Verse Editions. The first, Dismantling the Angel, won the New Measure Poetry Prize.

Hix has praised Pankey's prose poems for their "elusive and luminous sentences" and how they "take the shape of fire." Kevin P...

Eric Pankey writes poems that give us back, if not the world, our relation to it." -DAN BEACHY-QUICK

The seventh book by a well-known and deeply respected poet.

His arresting ninth collection of poems, Eric Pankey's Trace locates itself at a threshold between faith and doubt--between the visible and the invisible, the say-able and the ineffable, the physical and the metaphysical. Also a map of the poet's journey into a deep depression, these poems confront one man's struggle to overcome depression's smothering weight and presence. And with remarkable clarity and complexity, Trace charts the poet's att...

Eric Pankey's poems gleam with authenticity."-Chase Twichell

What is a song but a snare to capture the moment?" Eric Pankey asks in his new collection, "Crow-Work."

Through subjects as diverse as Brueghel's "Procession to Calvary, " Anish Kapoor's "Healing of Saint Thomas, " Caravaggio's series of severed heads, and James Turrell's experimentation with light and color, the author trav...

Winner of the New Measure Poetry Prize | Free Verse Editions, Edited by Jon Thompson | "In these precise, dream-like poems, Eric Pankey peers through the clarifying lens of metaphor and parable to meditate on mystery, human sympathy and the divine.

While these meditative poems are deeply philosophical, their subject is the world of things. In these poems, he explores the world by way of the body-the body as a m...

The seventh book by a poet with an established following.

Poetry. "Whether reading in sand the movements of a snake, or opening a book by chance to a significant phrase, one is made to adjust one's eyes to the glimmering darkness, as traditional narrative is stripped away, replaced by a sustained visionary lyricism, the four sections resembling a mandala.
