C.S. Giscombe Poetry Trading Cards


We know your inbox is probably inundated with holiday-themed emails and last minute gift ideas right about now. We don't want to add to all that noise, so we'll just say it plain and simple: C.S. Giscombe Poetry Trading Cards. Yep.

C.S. Giscombe has worked as a taxi driver, a hospital orderly, a railroad brakeman, a teacher and, perhaps most importantly, a poet. He is the author of Prairie Style (Dalkey Archive) which won a 2008 American Book award, Into and Out of Dislocation (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) and Giscome Road (Dalkey Archive) among others.

Patterned after a 1993 Topps baseball card design, C.S. Giscombe's poetry trading card features a new poem titled "Plague" on the reverse side.
