Journey through poignant poems capturing the essence of a small Southern town now lost to time. Explore vivid memories of rural life, race relations, and family bonds, as the author reflects on a world that shaped her but no longer exists. What stories do these echoes of the past hold?
From the publisher
Series of poems about the author’s memories of Shorter, Alabama, a small Southern town that was torn down after the author had grown and moved away. But her memories of the town linger. The poems are poignant, vivid snapshots of a Southern, simple, rural, hard, and hard-loving way of life with topics from race relations to remembering Grandmama.
