Ribbons: American Folk Poetry

This chapbook takes you on a journey through the author's life with all its ups and downs. You'll taste the best bar-b-cue in the south, hear glorious anthems of night critters, impersonate psychiatrists, laugh out loud, feel the worms of death, shed a small tear, undergo the frustration of writing, ache over unrequited love, celebrate the joy of shared love, commune and appreciate the wonder of nature, ride a roller coaster of madness, and see what happens when angels complain after the seven days of creating the universe. You will be uncomfortable at the neighbor's supper table when a father slaps her friend, enjoy a family vacation, and mingle with girls with pearls at a debutante tea. In this odd mix of topics, a few serious nuggets of wisdom will show up for you to take away. A book club will enjoy this quick accessible read which brings up a multitude of emotions, interpersonal relations, and thoughts to discuss.
