Unbound Edition Press today announced it will publish John Skoyles’ novel All the Question Marks. The title is scheduled for publication in October 2026.
John Skoyles has published eight books of poems, most recently, That’s Where You Come In. His books of prose include A Moveable Famine, The Nut File, and Driven. He has taught at Southern Methodist University, Sarah Lawrence College, Warren Wilson College (where he directed the MFA program) and Emerson College. He has also served as the Executive Director of the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown and as the Editor-in-Chief and Poetry Editor (2007-2025) of Ploughshares. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Paris Review, and The Atlantic, among others. He has received two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts as well as fellowships from the New York and North Carolina Arts Councils. He lives in New York City.
Jerald Walker, National Book Award Finalist and author of Magically Black and Other Essays said of All the Question Marks: “I’ll state it plainly: this is a masterpiece, and, as such, the hand of providence had its say.”
Peter Campion, executive editor at Unbound Edition Press, acquired the title for the house, and is editing the work. He notes: “John Skoyles has such a comic gift, and All the Question Marks is so much more entertaining than most film and TV, that it’s easy at first to miss how moving this book is. And then, it’s impossible to miss. Skoyles writes with tremendous heart.”
Patrick Davis, publisher and editor in chief at Unbound Edition Press, said, “This remarkable novel, daring in both form and subject, highlights how passion and conflict drive narrative and demand experimentation on the page. Skoyles’ book is the perfect fit for Unbound Edition Press.”
