Budy's anthology compiles work from some of the United States' most talented female poets, exploring a wide variety of themes and tones ranging from the darkly passionate to the humorous.
What can only be described as another amazing and beautifully written collection by Andrea Hollander Budy, this second book of poetry explores the intricacies of the family, the duality of a domestic and artistic life, the trying pain of illness, and the triumph of endurance, in precise lyrics and celebratory meditations. Andrea Hollander Budy won the Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize for her first collection of poems, House Without a Dreamer, published by Story Line in 1993. She has received fellowships from the NEA, the Arkansas Arts Council, and both the Wesleyan and Bread Loaf Writers' Conferences. She lives and teaches in Mountain View, Arkansas.
These poems go far beyond the surface. . . to explore, discover, and experience the subtleties attending the delicate instant of change. These are poems for all seasons. -- Booklist.

The fifth full-length collection from award-winning poet Andrea Hollander
Jo McDougall brings a poet's sensibility to memoir. Recounting five generations of Delta rice farmers, through family archives and oral histories, she traces how the clan made their way into the fabric of America, beginning with her Belgian-immigrant grandfather, a pioneer rice farmer on the Arkansas Delta at the turn of the twentieth century. As John Grisham has for a 1950s Arkansas cotton farm, McDougall illuminates an Arkansas rice farm in the 1930s and 1940s.
