Field Hollers

The authors describe this long poem like this: Field Hollers was born of insomnia trading stanzas largely predawn back and forth before light harrowed. This sequence of stanzas consists of a sort of dialogue a back-and-forth between 2 twins (ie 2 voices not 2 sets of twins) who constantly switch places go into reverse or speak as one voice so much so that there is little distinction really between them. They become a single double voice and talk on a metaphoric and metaphysical plane in language that is achingly beautiful and resonant. This is a unique and extraordinary work and can be read and reread in one sitting and again and again and again.- John M. Bennett
