Floyd Skloot (born 1947 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American poet, novelist, and memoirist who has often written about the search for meaning through personal loss, about love and memory, and the struggle for coherence in a fragmented world.
Some of his work concerns his experience with neurological damage caused by a virus contracted in 1988. His book In the Shadow of Memory gained favorable critical notice, leading to more reviews of the following book, A World of Light, for the quality of his writing and for the new life he created after illness.
His poetry is published in general circulation and literary magazines.
