I am enjoying a collection of poems,
First Words (2010), by
Joyce Sutphen.
She is currently the Minnesota Poet Laureate and I have posted about
her poems before. With titles
such as "Zuchinni Bread," "Polka Revival," and "Breakfast," this
collection comes across as a very personal, midwestern, down-to-earth
memoir in verse. Great stuff!
From Red Dragonfly Press:
Joyce
Sutphen grew up on a working dairy farm, and her poems recover this
lost world, with all its beauty and order. This collection traces a
shift in the rural landscape from horses to tractors, from haystacks to
hay bales---and watches as time ages and changes the people who make up
the story. First Words is both elegy and celebration--ultimately its
center is family, then and now.
