Giscome Road

C. S. Giscombe is the author of several books of poetry, including Giscome Road and Here, both of which are available from Dalkey Archive Press. He has also published a memoir entitled Into and Out of Dislocation. He is the editor of Mixed Blood, a poetry journal, and teaches at the University of California at Berkeley.

"Recently, the examination of place has become an important theme in American literature; here it is carried out in verse. Giscombe visits sites in northern Canada named for relative John Robert Giscome, a 19th-century Jamaican miner and explorer. His journey, though, is as much interior as exterior, resulting in poems that are at once meditative and visually stunning." -- Library Journal
