"I have no trouble ranking [Fairchild] with the best poets of his generation." -- Hudson Review "One of the most readable poets of our time... This is poetry of the extraordinary ordinary, nonpareil." -- Ray Olson - Booklist, starred review "Acause of celebration... Noisy, visually arresting poems, full of occult weather systems, the barbed nostalgia of a man born into one world, now inhabiting another ... [Fairchild] has spent a lifetime singing the body electric of small, dying towns, day-laborers and the beers at the end of their day, the pressure it puts on the man who must remember it all." -- John Freeman - Boston Globe
