<p>"Home Place" has been described by former Kentucky Poet Laureate Richard Taylor as "a fine narrative poem celebrating the rural life in the understated style of Robert Frost, Frost with less irony and more heart." It is a dialogue in verse between a woman who moves to the country to find a new life, and the farmer who in time becomes more than a neighbor, celebrating the redemptive power of nature and the unexpected possibility of love. </p>
<p>Of the balance of the poems in the book, editor Larry Moore writes "This is the sort of poetry you get from a woman who has gotten up and gone to work, cared for a child (and still been a child herself to her parents, paid the bills, read serious books, thought serious thoughts, and risked love and rejection, all between rising and resting in a typical day - that is, if the woman is also a skilled practitioner of weaving experience into language."</p>
