Presents a collection of poetry where tractors pull versions of story, poetic form, landscape, light, and family history into summer air, offering themselves as vehicles for looking and remembering.
In "14 Tractors", Gerald Hill's latest poetry collection, tractors pull versions of story, poetic form, landscape, light, and family history into summer air, offering themselves as vehicles for looking and remembering. Accompanying Shelley Sopher's visual material, Hill's poems ride tractors to the edge of personal and cultural fields. Hop aboard (safely, please) and see tractors - see from tractors - in this new light.

"There aren't many books of poetry about tractors... Most of the poems don't actually rhyme, but for anyone who has spent time around tractors there will be experiences that resonate. If there are any younger readers who are doing English Literature at school, they may want to get this book and suggest to their teacher that instead of studying Shakespeare or Dickens, they analyse the poetry of tractors, instead." -- Vintage Tractor, September 2009  Be the first to write a customer review
