“[B. H. Fairchild] is the American voice at its best: confident and conflicted, celebratory and melancholic.”—New York Times Gathering works from five of B. H. Fairchild's previous volumes stretching over thirty years, and adding twenty-six brilliant new poems, The Blue Buick showcases the career of a poet who represents "the American voice at its best: confident and conflicted, celebratory and melancholic" (New York Times). Fairchild's poetry covers a wide range, both geographically and intellectually, though it finds its center in the rural Midwest: in oilfields and dying small towns, in taverns, baseball fields, one-screen movie theaters, and skies "vast, mysterious, and bored." Ultimately, its cultural scope—where Mozart stands beside Patsy Cline, with Grunewald, Gödel, and Rothko only a subway ride from the Hollywood films of the 1950s—transcends region and decade to explore the relationship of memory to the imagination and the mysteries of time and being. And finally there is the character of Roy Eldridge Garcia, a machinist/poet/philosopher who sees in the landscape and silence of the high plains the held breath of the earth, "as if we haven't quite begun to exist. That coming into being still going on." From the machine work elevated to high art that is the subject of The Arrival of the Future (1985) to the despairing dreamers of Early Occult Memory Systems of the Lower Midwest (2002) to the panoramic, voice-driven structure of Usher (2009), Fairchild's work, "meaty, maximalist, driven by narrative, stakes out an American mythos" (David Ulin, Los Angeles Times). From "The Blue Buick:" A boy standing on a rig deck looks across the plains. A woman walks from a trailer to watch the setting sun. A man stands beside a lathe, lighting a cigar. Imagined or remembered, a girl in Normandy Sings across a sea, that something may remain.

What makes one poem better than another? Do Christians have an obligation to strive for excellence in the arts? While orthodox Christians are generally quick to affirm the existence of absolute truth and absolute goodness, even many within the church fall prey to the postmodern delusion that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This book argues that Christian doctrine in fact gives us a solid basis on which to make aesthetic judgments about poetry in particular and about the arts more generally. The faith once and for all delivered unto the saints is remarkable in its combined emphasis on embodied particularity and meaningful transcendence. This unique combination makes it the perfect starting place for art that speaks to who we are as creatures made for eternity.

a poem is a mere cholla needle embedded deep through skin when withdrawn the scar lengthens and the pain worsens time heals the pain the scar remains forever - r soos "Your poetry doesn't really need a classification as it stands by itself." - Karen O'Leary, editor of Whispers! "Beautiful and incisive commentary on man's deepest questions and yearning for the ultimate answers" - Neal Beightol, poet "r soos is an acute observer of the worlds he comes in contact with. He translates both his inner and outer world with equal grace and fluency. His poems soar into a soulful playground and swing across the page visiting subjects and returning, then off again a bit higher visiting a new thought. Later he is caught swinging back to a vivid recalling of a thought or incident worth reporting on. His "Selected Poems" is a powerful, intelligent selection from 50 years of work." - Antony Paulson, editor of Poetry Review about this book When giving a reading in front of folks I needed a larger print version of my books for several reasons - first of the major reasons is the preference in some venues for subdued lighting (largely because lighting costs money, and poetry is notorious for not being surrounded by that entity) - and second, of course, my aging eyes. A more minor, but equally important reason was simply trying to juggle a whole stack of little books at the same time. Very boring, and to some even pretentious. Each time a new book came out, I would take it to a Xerox shop and have them enlarge the pages 150%, hole punch them, and then place them in a big blue binder. My thought is, a poet giving a reading is a performer, and as a performer my major contribution to the evening is to keep the audience happy. So, if someone called out for me to read one of my obscure poems (one I had simply not thought of for awhile) from one of my older books, I would have it handy. At readings recently I've been asked when I was going to put out a "collected poems" book. In 2015 'selected poems' came out, and I had felt that's all anyone would ever need; so I would joke around - I'm not dead yet. When talking with one of my editors the same subject came up, but I was able to deflect because I had several more books I was working on. More recently at a reading a person came up to speak with me after the reading and I had left the big blue binder open to the last poem I had read. While speaking with me she happened to glance over to the binder still open on the podium and gasped - "I love it - I can see the words without straining! Can you give me a copy of that?" Back to my editor to share the conversation; and the big blue binder is now the big blue book. So, if you ever think twice about approaching a performer at a poetry reading, just remember that they are learning from everyone they meet, so why not learn from you? - r soos
