The Arrival of the Future - Paperback

by B. H. Fairchild (Author)

"Fairchild's ability not only to choose a story but to pace it and to reveal its meaning through the unfolding of the narrative is probably unmatched in contemporary American poetry. The incisive psychology, the vividly descriptive diction, the large repertoire of vocabulary, the weightiness of his settings and plots: all these contribute to the delightful sensation that one is reading, simultaneously, the best poetry and best prose. I cannot think of another living poet capable of delivering such pleasure... Not since James Wright has there been a poet so skilled at representing the minds and imaginations of ordinary American working people."
--The Southern Review
