What Trudy Knows and Other Poems follows the ground broken by Knute Skinner's last collection The Bears and Other Poems. An unusual group of poems - each a brief telling of a moment in the life of one or more imaginary characters. The poems probe a variety of human relationships. As Aidan Murphy wrote of The Bears....
