Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><br></p><p>Ranging from the humble and poignant to the humorous, <strong>Sylvia Woods</strong>' poems explore her personal experience as an educator, as well as her own transition from daughter to mother and eventually to grandmother. Throughout Woods' work, <strong>the landscape and culture of Appalachia is a driving force</strong>. So too is <strong>the memory of family and the myth of family history</strong>. </p><p><br></p><p>The poems in <strong><em>What We Take With Us</em></strong> are, as <strong>acclaimed poet Maurice Manning</strong> says, "as true as a river fork and as durable as the hills above." He continues, "They are also, like the many people and voices here recalled, humble and hard-won. The grit and humor walk side by side with grief and spunk, but isn't that what we ask of poetry, this lofty air?"</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Kentucky Poet Laureate George Ella Lyon </strong>praises Sylvia Woods' work with these words: "Like switchback roads in the mountains she hails from ... Woods' poems are going to take you places, and you don't want to miss the ride!"</p><p><br></p><p>Author <strong>Darnell Arnoult </strong>describes <strong><em>What We Take With Us</em></strong> in this way: "Sylvia Woods 'captures' the reader in a vault of rich images, layers and layers of ideas to mine and gorgeously crafted moments of recognition for the poet and for us her readers. This may be a debut collection, but Woods is no novice to poetry. Each poem is a gem crafted by an experienced hand, strung together jewel after jewel."</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>What We Take With Us</em> </strong>is published by <strong>EastOver Press</strong>.
