Sinopsis

When William Heath began writing poetry in the 1960s, James Wright hailed him as &ldquo,one of the most brilliantly accomplished and gifted young poets to appear in the United States in quite some time.&rdquo, Now after an award-winning career as a novelist, historian, and literary critic, he has returned to his first love. Night Moves in Ohio vividly captures his memories of growing up in Poland, Ohio, a suburb of mobbed-up Youngstown, the city at the heart of the thriving Steel Valley but notorious as Little Chicago for its numerous gang-land bombings (&ldquo,Youngstown tune-ups&rdquo,). Heath&rsquo,s poems, by turns raunchy and poignant, evoke via his unblinking eye, ironic asides, and acute ear for the American idiom, the dangers and delights of a by-gone era.
