Great Regulars: B.H. Fairchild is one of those poets

prose readers love: Meaty, maximalist, driven by narrative, he stakes out an American mythos in which the personal and the collective blur. In this, he's reminiscent of Albert Goldbarth, but whereas Goldbarth often comes back to his own experience, Fairchild is a ventriloquist of a sort.

from David L. Ulin: Los Angeles Times: 'Usher: Poems' by B.H. Fairchild
