it was never Eden

More about the book

An eyebrow raised to the world: would be an apt description of these poems about home, identity, broken love, new love and the follies of mankind. Many poems explore the importance of place in our lives. For this poet, Appalachia was home, a place that framed her life and her understanding of the human condition. Other poems peel back the layers of relationships and take a hard look at their core. Where and how one "belongs" is a central theme throughout.
