Early Occult Memory Systems of the Lower Midwest: Poems
"Meaty, maximalist, driven by narrative, [Fairchild] stakes out an American mythos."―David Ulin, Los Angeles Times
From Manhattan to the rural Midwest―one of our most distinguished poets offers a verbal cinema of America. Employing dramatic monologues, among other forms, Usher embraces a range of subject matter and modes, from the elegiac to the comic. At its heart, however, is the long poem “Trilogy,†consisting of three interrelated dramatic monologues spoken by a circus performer, a theological student and part-time usher, and Hart Crane.
