In A Delta Vigil, Claire Feild's sensitive and observant essays capture the bittersweet memories of growing up in Yazoo City, Mississippi, during the 1950s and 60s. She depicts a way of life that seemed tranquil and destined to continue, but this was an illusion because fault lines in the social order were appearing and things were about to change. This book excels both as an appealing memoir and as an authentic representation of family life, race, religion, and the societal expectations placed on refined young women during those times.

In her debut collection, Claire T. Feild offers narrative poems about women living in the Mississippi Delta in the 1950s and the early 1960s. Many of the poems speak of proprieties revered by these women during a time of placidity that eventually sparked radical change. A darker meaning pervades these poems, for black-white relationships are explored by a writer whose formative years were spent collecting images from the kudzu-covered hills along Highway 49, the sultry cotton fields of the Yazoo Delta, and locales such as Henick’s Auto Supply and Goose Egg Park.
