Andrew Grace leads us back into the heartland, where things still grow, where locusts, biblical and otherwise, tear at the edges, where "the corn outgrew us, clogging our horizon / until all we could see was our small box of sky." How did we drift so far from this world? Understated, sure-footed, these poems bring us close to a mythical American landscape, so that each of us can become seers again.
