In Wildflower Flower, whose title derives from a traditional
country song, Byer speaks through the fictional voice of a mountain
woman named Alma, who lived in the Blue Ridge wilderness around the
turn of the century. In narrative and lyric, Byer's poems sing a
journey through solitude, capturing the spirit and the sound of
mountain ballads and of the women who sang them, stitching bits and
pieces of their hardscrabble lives into lasting patterns. The
landscape Byer depicts is haunted by disappointed love and physical
hardship, but it is blessed with dogwood and trillium, columbine
and hickory, and streams that sing a ballad as strong as any Alma
has learned from mother or grandmother. Through these natural
details and through Alma's indomitable voice, Kathryn Stripling
Byer has brilliantly recreated a lost world.
