Description
Corner of Birch Street, a collection of poems in a mini-memoir of a close-knit southern neighborhood during the 1940’s, will inspire in many readers feelings of nostalgia for young love, marble games, touch football, paper dolls, five cent Hershey bars, and “Mom and Pop” grocery stores. The poems also reveal social issues that were brought into focus by laws forbidding segregated movie houses, bullying among children, and child molestation. Pithy and profound verse in both familiar and unexpected glimpses of American life during the mid-twentieth century. Published 2015.
