Description
B. H. Fairchild's poetry represents the American voice at its best: confident and conflicted, celebratory and melancholic. This collection gathers works from five previous volumes, plus twenty-six new poems, showcasing Fairchild's career as a poet who explores the relationship of memory to the imagination and the mysteries of time and being. Fairchild's work spans a wide range, both geographically and intellectually, finding its center in the rural Midwest. His poetry covers topics such as oilfields, small towns, taverns, baseball fields, one-screen movie theaters, and vast skies. The poet also draws on cultural references, including music, art, and film, to explore these themes. Through his work, Fairchild presents a unique American mythos, driven by narrative and exploring the human experience. With this collection, readers can gain insight into the poet's distinctive voice and perspective.
