In the spirit of Seamus Heaney, Chitwood's poetry seeks the whereabouts of the \"thin places\" in the everyday--an abandoned barn, a weedy roadside, even an antique sewing machine. The dwindling tobacco fields and shuttered textile mills of Chitwood's native Appalachia bring to bear both personal and historical revelations. The complicated history of the region entwines with the personal in sonically rich lyrics. This is no Appalachian elegy, but Appalachian homage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe poems in \u003ci\u003eA Day of It \u003c\/i\u003epay people and place their greatest compliment: attention.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Chitwood\u003c\/b\u003e's\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ework has received the L.
