Hearthedral: A Folk-Hermetic by Phil Hall - Epham Nanny (Brick Books) - Brick Books Poetry Map (sitios de interés)

Infamous site of The Hatfield–McCoy feud (1863–1891) involving two families of the West Virginia–Kentucky area along the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River.

Epham Nanny is a mythical album from the 60's featuring musician Jackie Phelps.

"whatever words meant/has filligreed & transmutated" writes Phil Hall; his new Brick book marks an important shift in his writing. The fascinating leaps of Hall's language in Hearthedral may be a surprise to readers familiar with his other work, but his uncompromising honesty, his willingness to face sorrow and self remain constant. What emerges is profound and beautiful, difficult and homely: a "folk-hermetic."

Phil Hall, poet, teacher, editor, and publisher (born at Lindsay, ON 18 Sept 1953). Phil Hall was raised on farms in Ontario's Kawarthas region. Following a childhood fraught with intellectual alienation and conflicted emotions about family relationships, he left his rural home to attend the University of Windsor, where he earned an MA in English and Creative Writing.
