“For anyone who didn’t know Jim Webb, this book of fine poems is an apt biography. But not only is it a biography: it is equally something of a hagiography of the man once serio-comically addressed, in his most famous poem, as “Jesus.” Reading these poems, we encounter the depth and breadth and persistence of Jim Webb’s life and work—its sometimes terrible, awful, raging grace—and we see and hear what a secular Appalachian prophet and saint might look and sound like. For those who knew Jim for a long time, this book is the occasion of both joy and grief. We re-live him in his various guises and poses, hear his voice, watch his antics and his resistances, and we miss him.For all readers, Hilda Downer’s collection is a document of large love, devoted craft, and rich memories.
