"At once humorous, lyrical, dramatic, and reflective, the voice in these poems captures the jostling freedoms of personality in cinematic terms. The intimate lies down alongside the epic, the jocular shares the verdant field with the chthonic. Like all true works of art, Notter's poems arehad-in the manner we experience dreams, theater, or movies-not simply read. This auspicious first collection possesses originality and depth, attributes far rarer than talent and skill." -Ricardo Pau-Llosa, author ofParable Hunter , "At once humorous, lyrical, dramatic, and reflective, the voice in these poems captures the jostling freedoms of personality in cinematic terms.

Like the coyotes one speaker listens for from her porch, Notter's poems are thin, hungry, unexpected, and sly. A wonderful debut collection."

Synopsis
William Notter's stunning collection Holding Everything Down explores the everyday struggles, triumphs, and desires of rural Americans. With disarming humor and remarkable honesty, Notter delves into the most personal longings of those who inhabit America's countrysides: places bound by secrets and ghosts, where joy is discovered in the most unlikely of locations, and even the land itself has a story to tell. These highly accessible poems traverse the world of weekend rodeos, lonely highways, and windswept battlefields; they follow the twin paths of addiction and obsession, and the trials of newfound sobriety. Connections are forged beneath weathered ceilings, and love can be found over a plate of barbecue. Also explored are the depths of humanity's relationship with nature and freedom, be it the smell of freshly threshed wheat, the purple thunderheads of an approaching storm, or a sunset viewed from Mississippi's highest peak. From the muddy deltas of the deep South to the crags of the Big Horn Mountains, Notter's deeply candid portraits transcend stereotypes to expose an often unseen side of Americana. Hairdresser or handyman, rodeo rider or rancher's wife, each voice ultimately echoes with the most human of experiences, unveiling the common threads that bind us to our world and to each other., Navigating the landscapes of human experience, this work explores the everyday struggles and triumphs of rural Americans. It delves into the personal longings of those who inhabit America's countrysides: places bound by secrets and ghosts, where joy is discovered in the most unlikely of locations, and even the land itself has a story to tell.
