Jon Loomis's new collection of poems visits big subjects by way of the commonplace. While The Pleasure Principle is full of surprises, both narrative and metaphoric, it is more than anything a humane and thoughtful exploration of the human condition: passion, mortality, cross-dressing, time, tourism, art, the shifty nature of reality, and, always considered in Loomis's work, the unknowable absolute.
JON LOOMIS S Vanitas Motel won the inaugural FIELD Poetry Prize, and his The Pleasure Principle was also published by Oberlin College Press. The author of the Frank Coffin mystery series, he teaches at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire.
