Book Synopsis
Welcome to Judevine.
In the 1970s, as a recent arrival to Wolcott, Vermont, writer David Budbill was inspired by his own working-class background to shine a light on the lives of his new neighbors who were, in turns, beautiful, ingenious, struggling, and unseen. These poems became the collection known as Judevine, a raucous, moving, and plain language depiction of a rural community that resonates to this day with its enduring themes of injustice, economic and social struggle, and the indomitable will to survive.
This new and revised edition includes introductions by former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins, world-renowned musician and composer William Parker, and Lost Nation Theater Founding Director Kim Bent. Judevine-arising out of love for a particular place and its people-is an anthem for humanity's joys, sorrows, and resilience.
