Customer Reviews

The Midwest pauses at the edge of the 20th century...

I love Dave Etter! A resident of Illinois all my life, but a Chicago-surburb dweller, I really appreciate Mr. Etter's honest and imaginative vision of living in the ag and industrial small towns and cities lying in the shadow of Chicago.... it's kind of a Spoon River Anth. revisited, but I think he does it better than Masters did...Sandburgian in grit and honesty...a great group of poems.
