Curtis L. Crisler and Kevin McKelvey’s intent in this collection is to explore working class roots in urban cities, small towns, and rural townships in Indiana. In the odd sections, they alternate poems, and in the second section, Crisler takes a solo with ten poems, and McKelvey offers ten of his own in the fourth section. The differing voices and styles spark interplay between the poems, and more importantly, a dialogue about race, class, relationships, and urban and rural issues in Indiana and the greater Midwest.
