They are the human stories of the mid-twentieth century industrial mid-west. The honest sentiments of these poems remind us how a centrality of setting, as much time as place, form our experience into themes. Every poem is engrossing, teeming with fascinating storyline detail and imagery. -William Hathaway, author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eDawn Chorus: New and Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this remarkable collection, William Heath mourns and celebrates an almost vanished way of life: sometime brutal yet intensely human. A world that, tough as it is, is consistently shot through with its own wry, mordant humor. These poems are savvy and lively, as exact as a high jumper's focus, quick and accurate as a tennis player's eye, wrist, ankle. \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eNight Moves in Ohio\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e is Heath's own remembrance of things past-an autobiography in rapt miniature of his unforgotten early life, mercilessly but compassionately lit by the laser-light of memory. -Eamon Grennan, author of\u003ci\u003e \u003ci\u003eOut of Sight: New \u0026amp; Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Walking Man\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWilliam Heath is in my opinion one of the most brilliantly accomplished and gifted young poets to appear in the United States in quite some time. I am especially moved by the delicacy and precision of the language, which indicates a distinguished intelligence, and by the purity and depth of feeling in all of his poems. -James Wright, author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbove the River: The Complete Poems\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 148\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 08, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42732460408895,"sku":"9781639801039","price":30.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/eb9a5f3abb49d926bdddca91c58df7fb.webp?v=1765132563","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/steel-valley-elegy-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
