What is The Switching/Yard (Pitt Poetry Series) about?
In Jan Beatty’s fourth collection, <i>The Switching/Yard,</i> she takes us through the ravaged landscape of the American West. In unflinching lines of burning lyric and relentless narrative, she forges the constructed body into movement. What is still stereotyped as the romantic journey—now becomes as scarred as the Rust Belt. What lives in our collective unconscious as the Golden West becomes almost surreal, as these poems snap that vision in half with extended description of ghost explorers.<b
