Chelsea Harlan's Country Music is a book of poems about ecstatic experience in the modern world. Farm life, smartphones, nostalgia, the car radio.
As Andrew Barton at Two Plum Press says: "If I could prescribe it to all of you, I would. Like, if you have existential malaise, try reading Country Music. If you are having the time of your freaking life, read Country Music and send it to the stratosphere. If you live in the city and want to hear the cicadas and see the dang moon, read Country Music. If you are living simply in the country but remember the kinetic energy and twinkling lights of other towns, read Country Music."
92 pages, tall pocket-size, letter-pressed covers. Published by Two Plum Press. It even comes with its own playlist.
