<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Meaty, maximalist, driven by narrative, [Fairchild] stakes out an American mythos.--David Ulin, <em>Los Angeles Times</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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. A <em>Los Angeles Times</em> Favorite Book of 2009.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Fairchild's singular distinction is his ability to make people and incidents in his work more actual than any, it seems, in any other kind of writing.-- "Booklist"<br><br>The energetic and vivid poems of Usher are a delight . . . even those who approach poetry with trepidation will be mesmerized.-- "Sacramento Book Review"<br>
