Synopsis
The work in this first book by Jim Kelleher presents a gritty, no-holds-barred depiction of life in rural New England. These tough-minded poems quarried out of hardship show a man and his neighbors--human, animal, vegetable and mineral--enduring and, more often than not, prevailing. Quarry will give courage to its readers.

Review
Kelleher makes tough, knobby poems out of what he knows as carpenter, wood splitter, snowplower, and canny observer of the natural world. He is one of a kind and so are his carefully crafted but unvarnished poems. --Maxine Kumin
Hard work, hard winter, and hard truth are the realities often embraced in Jim Kelleher's poems. As he takes his readers from auction to quarry, from woodcutting to snow plowing, from tending the dying to attending Kerry dancing, his fortitude becomes a valuable affirmation. The poems in this fine first collection are shaped by direct observation, determined craftsmanship, and a rare hardiness of spirit. Whitman would say Welcome. And so do I. --Susan Kinsolving
