Description
B. H. Fairchild's memory systems are the collective vision of America's despairing dreamers-failed baseball players, oil field laborers, a surrealist priest, college boys at a burlesque theater, the last remaining cast members of The Wizard of Oz. Looming over all is the fact and the mystery of our continued renewal.
Reviews / Votes
"These poems make a rare, magical conjunction between a communal sense of place and a solitary habit of memory." -- Eavan Bloand "Fairchild is in touch with that America we almost forgot, melancholy, dream-ridden, wistful, ghost-like." -- Gerald Stern "What an exaltation!" -- Richard HowardMore details
