Book Description:
|
For nearly half a century, Jared Carter has been quietly mapping the American heartland. Line by line, his poetry has shown us the landscape, sounded the voices, conjured the music and tested the silence of the ever-changing and yet ever-constant Midwest. Here, in poems selected from his first five books, is the summer-long buzz of the cicada and the crack of the cue ball, the young rebel on his big Harley and the YMCA secretary who backstrokes her way across the indoor pool.
