About
Divided into fifty-seven sections, 'Hometown' is an extraordinary work in the long tradition of the Great American Poem. The author's own compositions, interspersed with quotations from other famous writers and excerpts from historical documents and articles, including an old restaurant menu, create a living tapestry of the city of Denver from its frontier days to its foundation and beyond, woven together by the poet's unifying gaze and psychedelic imagination.
Thirty years in the making, 'Hometown' was left unpublished at the death of its author, who regarded it as his most important work. Published here for the first time, alongside the rest of his poetry, including some uncollected pieces, this poem will restore Andrews's place among the great American poets of the twentieth century.
Contains an introduction by Prof. John Burt, Brandeis University and an afterword by Michael Baird.
