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 that
figures so prominently in the American story. And yet what we find
in Carter's poetry is endlessly new. 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.
Here, too, are thirty new poems in fixed form that illustrate
Carter's continued quest for a poetry of "universal interest."
Taken together, these selections are, truly, poetry in the American
grain.
