Product Description
In 1958, Knute Skinner, a Ph.D. candidate at University of Iowa, made an impulsive decision to leave for the Canary Islands and spend the rest of his life there writing poetry. His travels took him to Ireland, Denmark, England, Spain, Italy, and France. Help Me to a Getaway, a memoir of his two-year sojourn, describes a Europe that no longer exists and tells a story which was not at all what the author expected. "`Help Me to a Getaway' is an excellent read for those who want to get into the mind and understand the travels of a devoted poet."-Midwest Book Review
