Like most other excellent poets, Robert M. Chute deserves to be better known. It is therefore cheering to see his Uncle George, a book that refuses to go away, given a new incarnation. Here are immediately graspable, often uproarious poems full of the salt and tang of actual life: Maine as it used to be, and maybe persists in being." -X. J. KENNEDY, Lamont Poetry Award, 1961, Poetry Editor, Paris Review, 1961-64 "The best colloquial imagination is in Robert Chute's Uncle George poems which carry on for Edgar Lee-Masters. Read poems like "Summer School" and "Roofing the Shed." Real! Wonderful! Truly conveying the rural universality in the late 20th century." -LEO CONNELLAN, Author of Clear Blue Lobster-Water Country, Shelley Memorial Award winner "... his notes on the poems should be of particular interest to those writing poetry...The woodblock illustrations are especially fine. A pleasure to read." -GORDON CLARK, Maine Sunday Telegram
