Brian Palmer admirably writes against the grain of our current trends in verse by reclaiming the freedom to rhyme, or not; to count syllables, or not; to declare feelings openly, or not-depending on each poem's need. And these poems are all about need. The need to eat / our cache of bitter food, to deem ourselves / as beautiful. And finally, to be fed. This need lifts Palmer's Prairiehead toward intensities of music and feeling and form that, in turn, make reading him an unusually elevating experience.
