Poetry in this data-saturated age is not, for most, a viable way to
make a living. So why expend the time and energy to create
something that few people will read and even fewer will purchase?
To which I must ask, why do people sing in the rain, paint
pictures, dance? Because it provides pleasure and reward and
perhaps even keeps them sane. As a writer of fiction and
nonfiction, I am most concerned with story. When I write poetry, I
view it not as some lofty literary tool to fool or condescend, but
as an exercise in crafting story within the strictest confines.
White Trash & Southern is a collection of such exercises,
spanning nearly three decades. To create a complex story within a
limited number of words-to communicate far more than appears on the
page-is a challenge that can provide enormous reward and
satisfaction. Sometimes I succeed. Sometimes I don't. But at least
I remain sane. Sort of.
Ever wonder how fried cornbread came about? I did... Thus begins
the story, Hush, Puppy A Southern Fried Tale, the fictional history
of how an excitable puppy and a tiny baker create the southern
treat, hushpuppies. "In celebration of good people and tasty food,"
the book is appropriate for all ages.
