The Wingtip Prophecy

Praise for Brent House

“This gorgeous collection captures the regionalisms, dialects, and idiolects of self-educated storytellers who grew up with one book in the house—the Bible. With so much to love, I love Brent House’s big-hearted poems on animal husbandry most of all. A much-needed contribution to literature on the American South, classism, and agricultural pollution, The Wingtip Prophecy is a collection that I will return to again and again for lines that leave this reader blessed.” – Carolyn Hembree, author of Rigging a Chevy into a Time Machine and Other Ways to Escape a Plague
