Beginning with the arrival of the Campbell clan in Canada in 1827-- "pale Scot farmers fording the river, / seated backwards in refusal"--Laws & Locks tracks the history of one family's struggle with depression, madness and mental illness. Chad Campbell's first book of poetry is a brilliant investigation, at once dazzling and unflinching, into the way our predecessors bear on our choices in the present, and how present-day consequences extend backwards in time. A skilled, self-possessed and clear-eyed poet, Campbell has produced a work of art that, while not quite confessional, transforms the private, dark, often stigmatized regions of his life into powerful poetry. It is a bracing debut. "Come now to the burning forest / not burning anymore and feel / safe enough."
