In an evocative blending of words and images, painter-photographer Carol Burch-Brown and poet David Rigsbee offer a depiction of trailers and their inhabitants. The understated imagery of Burch-Brown's 48 photos implies rather than proclaims the living conditions of these mobile-home dwellers, while Rigsbee's meditative, autobiographical essay parallels and illuminates the subjects and chronicles family histories with trailers.

David Rigsbee's poems focus on the relationship between memory and place, self and other, and history and story. The poems record not only the fact that events and experiences bring us to loss, to the "Adamic vastnesses," but that their transformation into memory can also uncover occasions for redemptive hope. Rigsbee's poems--intensely felt, formally rigorous, are grounded in the South and in generations of family. The Red Tower: New &amp; Selected Poems brings together poems from Rigsbee's seven previous volumes and thus collects work long out of print, together with significant new poems.

The Red Tower: New & Selected Poems

NewSouth Books

Poetry. "Another name for this book could be The Museum of Life As We Know It Today. From public figures like Mishima and Nixon, from musicians like Frankie Avalon and Roy Orbison, as well as the Cure and the Everly Brothers, Rigsbee walks us through our past and present even as he points us toward the future. The world that awaits will be a beautiful one as long as it contains poets and poems like these."—David Kirby "For decades now, David Rigsbee has crafted poems of a bracing lyrical intensity that is both refined and tough-minded. His new collection shows him working at the height of his considerable powers: these are poems of heartfelt retrospection and surprising associations. Above all, they celebrate the blessings and consolations of a cultured life, one that can honor Auden and Roy Orbison, Faust and one-hit Doo Wop groups. These elegant and lovingly constructed poems deserve to be read and—more importantly—reread." —David Wojahn

This Much I Can Tell You

Poetry. "The work of a raconteur of the spirit, a splendid storyteller with just enough jaunty language to make you feel you'd want to hear almost anything he had to say. He is elegiac and disciplined, rapturous and suspicious, but more than anything else these are the sort of poems that James Wright once called the poetry of a grown man. I'd add the poems of a remarkable, felicitous intelligence" --Dave Smith.
