Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award.
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.

Review:

These poems are an ecstatic celebration of language—long, lavish lines sprawling across the page as the speaker's consciousness roams the Kansas countryside. Fairchild is a spinner of tales who writes unforgettably of loneliness and the tenderness of the Midwest. (Chicago Tribune)

Review:

There is no more lyric celebration of America's grandeurs and desolations than in this superb collection of poems. (Anthony Hecht)

Review:

What an exaltation! (Richard Howard)

Review:

Fairchild is in touch with that America we almost forgot, melancholy, dream-ridden, wistful, ghost-like. (Gerald Stern)

Synopsis:

B. H. FAIRCHILD's memory systems are the collective vision of America's despairing dreamers.
