Early Occult Memory Systems of the Lower Midwest: Poems by B.H. Fairchild

5.0

Reads like the voiceover of a Terrence Malick film. That's a compliment.

Sherwood Anderson and James Wright (maybe some Philip Levine, too) are probably the closest literary analogues, however, and Fairchild more than measures up. Fairchild's line is so natural, so common, yet so taut and tempered.
