David Baker 
Truth about Small Towns [EPUB ebook] 
Poems

Sokongan

Winner of the 1998 Ohioana Poetry Award Skilled at both extended narratives and intense, intimate lyrics, David Baker combines his talents in his fifth collection of poems. Working in syllabics, sonnets, couplets, and free verse, Baker can write unflinchingly about love, illness, madness, and perseverance.His small towns are the burgs of the Midwest, where there is a constant tension between a future that s coming and a past that may never vanish. The grocer on the corner now carries mango chutney, and the city council must decide Wendy s or wetlands.From these rural towns, Baker evokes lovers, mothers and fathers, highway workmen, hospital patients, and the long dead. He spots the inner struggles of everyday living, as in these lines from The Women : there comes a rubbing of hands, and not as in cleaning. / As when something s put away, but it won t stay down. Regional in the best sense, Baker s poems capture the universal human commerce of love and conflict enduring under the water towers and storefronts of America s heartland.
