Book Description:
|
The poetry in this book doesn't try to be avante garde, but it seeks to convey the emotion of the authors to the audience in a variety of moods and styles. Each poet in this collection has a distinctive voice, and none of them play coy with the audience. This is the collective voice of people who live in a small town that they love, but they know there's a big world out there and they want to see it.
