In his new collection Where That Leaves Us, the poet Michael P. Hill displays a folksinger-like gift for unearthing, from everyday moments, both the seedy and the sublime. In so doing, he embodies much of what made Bruce Springsteen's best work so humane and so moving (the collection's epigraph is a Springsteen lyric)-he feels the same ache you feel at what is lost, even as he asks you to love what you can still hold on to, because it's from there that hope grows anew. As tempting as it is to draw comparisons to James Wright or Ted Kooser, it is the Springsteen of My Hometown that Hill's vision seems to most resemble. I mean it as the highest compliment possible when I say that a couplet like I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand / to the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man could very easily have been the opening to a Michael P. Hill poem.
