Great Narrative Poem
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
The Diviners is McDowell's book length poem about a family as it falls apart through five decades. It's a poignant story told in iambic pentameter, and is a prime example of the comeback the narrative poem has been making (as is Dave Mason's "The Country I Remember"). The first chapter, "The Fifties", is truly a great piece of work, and appeared in a slightly different form in the Best American Poetry 1989.
