Publisher Marketing: In these poems a poet says farewell to beloved people, places, and poetic subjects of her past--the Memphis suburbs of her childhood, the family farm in middle Tennessee that, for decades, was a touchstone for her adolescent and adult life, and the relatives who shared her experiences of those places. The decline of her parents and the destruction of the family home by fire compel her re-inspection of the past and her decision to fully claim her life in California. Taken together, these poems tell a loving liberation story of moving on from a way of life spent close to the land.
