Cornfields

Etter, Dave

In the tradition of Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, and Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology, each of the 222 poems in this collection is narrated by a different resident of the fictional small town of Alliance, Illinois. Their voices, individual and yet familiar, describe the ordered simplicity of life in the American small town during the second half of the twentieth century. Dave Etter's themes and images come from the very lifeblood of prairie Illinois-rivers, trees, cornfields, wildlife, county fairs, railroads and, always, the people and the ever-changing seasons. Deceptively, invitingly simple on their surface, Etter's poems reveal upon careful examination a remarkable psychological insight and a careful craftsmanship. Alliance, Illinois is truly one of the great monuments of rural American literature.

Publisher's Note: "In five seasonal essays and a daybook of 365 entries, Blei records the passing of days and seasons in Door County, in his life, in our lives. A delicate balance between the rugged Door terrain and the author's inner landscape, the entries of Door Steps range from objective, almost naturalistic observations to pure poetry. The seasonal essays, especially "Christmas Eve in Door," are already Door County classics. Illustrations from the sketchbooks of Door County artist Charles Peterson perfectly complement Blei's prose in this, the second book of his Door trilogy."
