The poems in Kenneth Pobo's Loplop in a Red City spring from artworks old and new, figurative to abstract, Vincent Van Gogh to Leonora Carrington to Max Ernst. Like those works, the poems in Loplop are agonized and idyllic, uneasily at home in the surreal, animated, beautiful, and complex. Praise for Loplop in a Red City: Not only does Pobo's work lead me to visualize new works of art … but it also gives me works that are known in a new way. - Eclectica Pobo sees art as intricately tied to life.

The poems in Kenneth Pobo's Loplop in a Red City spring from artworks old and new, figurative to abstract, Vincent Van Gogh to Leonora Carrington to Max Ernst. Like those works, the poems in Loplop are agonized and idyllic, uneasily at home in the surreal, animated, beautiful, and complex. Praise for Loplop in a Red City: Not only does Pobo's work lead me to visualize new works of art … but it also gives me works that are known in a new way. - Eclectica Pobo sees art as intricately tied to life. This notion pulsates throughout the collection. - Compulsive Reader These wonderful poems go way beyond mere ekphrasis. They're little masterpieces in their own right, bursting with exuberant life from the page and into our memories without our having to know anything about the paintings that inspired them. - Robert Cooperman, author of In the Colorado Gold Fever Mountains, winner of the Colorado Book Award for Poetry There's no ego here; it's laid bare, without any ribbons or bows, and in that simplicity, somehow more complex than most.... Pobo's talents for finding the right words, his precision as an artist, sing from the canvas in this collection. - Jerrod Edson, author of The Moon Is Real Loplop in a Red City offers us a taste of super powers: Pobo's poems present lyrical, verbal play, and we also gain new insight into art, art history, and the painters who created the great works.... Pobo's poems will provide artistic companionship in the days and years ahead. - Marilyn Kallet, author of The Love That Moves Me
Autorenporträt
Kenneth Pobo (he/him) grew up in Illinois and now lives in Pennsylvania with his husband and cat. His midwestern roots continue to influence his writing. He began writing at fifteen. For thirty-three years, he taught English and creative writing at Widener University in Chester, Pennsylvania. In 2020, he retired from teaching-but not from writing. Many of his poems are character studies, and many include imagery from the garden. He also enjoys writing ekphrastic poems which explore his connection with other forms of art, often painting or music. He is the author of twenty-one chapbooks and nine full-length collections. Recent books include Bend of Quiet (Blue Light Press), Loplop in a Red City (Circling Rivers), Sore Points (Finishing Line Press), Lilac and Sawdust (Meadowlark Press), Lavender Fire, Lavender Rose (BrickHouse Books), and Gold Bracelet in a Cave: Aunt Stokesia (Ethel Press). Forthcoming from Wolfson Press is a collection of poems called Raylene and Skip. His work has appeared in North Dakota Quarterly, Amsterdam Review, Asheville Poetry Review, Nimrod, Indiana Review, Mudfish, Hawaii Review, Southern Indiana Review, and elsewhere.
