Hard Earth
Place and rootedness are shibboleths in literary circles these days, glib passwords to authenticity. What the fortunate reader of Joseph Powell's Hard Earth will find, as artfully and exquisitely conceived as the poems are, is something exceeding the literary: a poetry devoted to locality as it is born, lived, parented, worked, and mourned.

A lovely wit and sympathy knit these tales of working class life in the western U.S. These stories have that utterly unfakeable tone that takes over when writers are talking about stuff they've been watching for years.” —Philip Garrison, Author of Because I Don't Have Wings
