Product Description
by Carol Hill Marks (Author)
In this new collection, Carol Hill Marks writes trenchantly, lighting up the night with poems that are piercingly true. Her poems wrestle with the fickleness of the artist's muse, falling in love with 17th century painters, dealing with the clutch on a 1962 Ford Falcon, and seeking the true identities of farm tractors. As always, memories of her family and her dream life continue to circle their wagons, attempting to define the boundaries of her poetry.Carol Hill Marks is also the author of You Know Where We Were, a collection of poems about growing up in small town Indiana.
Author Biography
Carol Hill Marks does not write poetry for a living, but thinks it is a good idea. She is delighted when she finds poems she wrote years ago that she doesn't remember writing and they are actually pretty good. She has never worked as a cowgirl, a riveter, a riverboat gambler, or a hairstyle model. She has never eaten a pound of cheese on a dare, but she hopes one day to climb a smallish mountain. Marks lives in the back of beyond in southern Indiana, where sometimes you still have to go out on the porch to get cell phone reception.
