Five chapbooks make up I HEAR AMERICA SINGING, Volume I of WALKING TO WINDWARD: POETS OF NEW ENGLAND (20 poets in 4 boxed volumes) Robert Dunn sets the tone in his 55 page chapbook I HEAR AMERICA SINGING: SOMETIMES IT TROUBLES ME with his incisive observations on American life, the creativity of the artists, the sound that distinguishes the wind in the trees, in contrast to the unthinking, fast-moving life on the freeway. The entire series takes its title from Dunn's poem where the poet "...was walking to windward, with newspapers/up my trousers and down my belt and various/places where the rude wind would blow/if it weren't for a Free/Press..." Included are also Pat Fargnoli's LIVES OF OTHERS (an encounter with a construction worker, the couple fighting upstairs, and who have inadvertently entered her life), Catherine O'Brian's LUCKY TO BE BORN IN A HOUSE OF MILK & THE WHITE NIGHTGOWN (on being brought up in the Philippines), Mark DeCarteret's in THE GREAT APOLOGY (a magnificent aunt, an immigrant uncle, a pencil for a tail, and an interchange with a mouse) decries our consumerist society, and Julia Older's CITY IN THE SKY relates her time in Native American Indian country, like the Tewa Indian song "My words are joined as one with the Mountains, with the Rocks, with the Trees, as one with my body and my heart."
