Things happen in Vanitas Motel: a funeral, a fistfight, an outburst at a poetry reading. Its poems are surreal parables, at once funny and dark, sensual and deeply serious. Their revealed subjects are loss, art, illness and desire. Vanitas Motel is the first collection by Jon Loomis, and the winner of the 1997 FIELD Poetry Prize.
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.
