Produktbeschreibung

Musically complex and intellectually sophisticated, Louise McNeill's imagery and rhythms have their deepest sources in the West Virginia mountains where she was born in 1911 on a farm that has been in her family for nine generations. These are rooted poems, passionately concerned with stewardship of the land and with the various destructions of land and people that often come masked as "progress."
