In this unique collection of short stories and poems, Teresa Diane Daniell Freeman fondly re-creates the special childhood she enjoyed on her family’s old-fashioned farm in the deep South of a much earlier time. She takes us back to this bygone era in a wonderfully poetic and often humorous way that you will no doubt find wistful, entertaining and, above all, delightfully inspiring. Country poets are hard to come by and she is that and more. In this writing, she recalls, usually in the voice of the child she remembers being, what the old farm life was like. You’ll be caught up in the vivid recollections of a girl who grew up in a loving, yet hard working environment where you had to produce most of what you ate and wore. She speaks eloquently of a life where only a few 'special' things were bought from the country store down the road and everything else came from hard work and the farm. In both story and poem, she speaks poignantly of the fabric of her childhood -- about working hard to make the things we take for granted today (from dresses to sausage), being in church every time the doors opened, and even of being guilty of more than a little mischief. In 'Reflections Cogitations Thoughts Memories', Diane will surely charm you... and, in her own special 'down home' way, she will have you wishing that you could have grown up on that old farm with her.

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
