Oberlin College Press has championed the prose poem throughout its history, publishing such stellar examples as Russell Edsons The Tunnel, Beckian Fritz Goldbergs Egypt from Space and the first and final sections of Jeffrey Skinners 2017 prize-winner Chance Divine. James Haugs Riverain is a masterful addition to that list, and a delight throughout. From the deadpan pastoral of Cows Are a Good Idea to quizzical fables like Silent River, from dreamlike meditations such as First It Didnt Sound Like to tender parables like Fraught with Sudden Appearances, this collection is mysterious, hilarious, and utterly unpredictable. The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Tate described Haugs previous collection as marvelous poems, ones that help us see what might have been or could have been, in a world full of light. These new prose poems are equally revelatory, illuminating the natural world, contemporary culture, and New England metaphysics in witty and heartbreaking ways.
