Do you enjoy a chronicle of the transformation of a small Southern
town girl into adulthood? Interested in spirituality,Christianity,
and philosophy from a both a child's perspective and a median aged
Southern woman? Then you definitely want to read this. The 1960's
poetry are written from a young teen's viewpoint which is simple,
yet profound. A little girl muses about the meaning of life and
talks to her confidant doll in "Petula". "The Almond Tree and the
Austrailian Pine" is from the "Still Searching" 1970's section. In
this poem, two trees in are personified in a conversation with
loneliness and hopefulness as its themes. "Losing Me, Finding God"
from the 1980's contains "The Process". "Sift me through your
sifter, Lord. Grind me in your mill, Mix me in your mixer, Lord
Until I know your will." But "Complaints" in the author's opinion
is the most well written of all the 80's poetry. Read about the
heartbreak of divorce and subsequent renewal in "Empty Spaces,
Empty Places" from the 1990's section. But the author believes her
best work is in the millennium section. It's here where she writes
about a middle aged housewife's frustration over perceived death of
dreams in "Frostbitten Dreams". And "A Fine Line We Walk","Water
Under the Bridge", and "A Coal Minin' Man and a Wayward Wife"
focuses on frustration of poverty in the South and the development
of an almost stoic philosophical acceptance of it.
