Book Description
I am now fifty-five years old. Born February 5, 1966, I grew up in the country and now live in a small town. I have three grown children. I enjoy teaching children's church and the missionary ladies. I also get much pleasure in speaking at the Mighty Women of God Conference. I am at my happiest when I am picking up people for church or telling someone about Jesus. My hobbies are fishing and camping. My favorite sport is basketball. I am very shy, but yet a people person. However, I spend much time alone. I can listen to preaching all day. I can play country, rock and roll, reggae, and blues, but gospel is my music of choice. I like the old-school stuff. God is good. Life is good. I plan to one day go nationwide and appear on TV. I want to thank you for your support and donations to this ministry of exhortation. My goal is that this book will uplift you and help you along your way as you grow in the Lord. Some of the contents will make you laugh, and others will make you cry. Truly and sincerely, Patsy Ruth Fulsom Rambo

Some Say the Lark
Author: Jennifer Chang
Publisher: Alice James Books
ISBN: 1938584716
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
"Some Say the Lark is a piercing meditation, rooted in loss and longing, and manifest in dazzling leaps of the imagination—the familiar world rendered strange." —Natasha Trethewey Chang’s poems narrate grief and loss, and intertwines them with hope for a fresh start in the midst of new beginnings. With topics such as frustration with our social and natural world, these poems openly question the self and place and how private experiences like motherhood and sorrow necessitate a deeper engagement with public life and history. From "The Winter's Wife": I want wild roots to prosper an invention of blooms, each unknown to every wise gardener. If I could be a color. If I could be a question of tender regard. I know crabgrass and thistle. I know one algorithm: it has nothing to do with repetition or rhythm. It is the route from number to number (less to more, more to less), a map drawn by proof not faith. Unlike twilight, I do not conclude with darkness. I conclude. Jennifer Chang is the author of The History of Anonymity, which was a finalist for the Glasgow/Shenandoah Prize for Emerging Writers and listed by Hyphen Magazine as a Top Five Book of Poetry for 2008. Her poems have appeared in American Poetry Review, Best American Poetry 2012, The Nation, Poetry, A Public Space, and elsewhere. She is an assistant professor of English and Creative Writing at George Washington University and lives in Washington, DC with her family.

The Girl Singer
Author: Marianne Worthington
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 1950564215
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 77
Book Description
Feminism, Appalachian culture, and country music: three threads beautifully woven into one in Marianne Worthington's poetry collection The Girl Singer. The poet grew up in urban Appalachia, listening to country and folk music and letting it live within her. The speakers in The Girl Singer offer lyrical celebrations of the women who performed that music and recite their stories anew. The girl singer is also the poet—one who traces loss through turning seasons, monitors the patterns of neighborhood wildlife, and creates a sisterhood for singing old songs in new ways. The Girl Singer is part family history, part music, and part nature walk. Worthington's attentive eye and heart are reflected in the starkly striking and painful images she paints in the poems. Every poem, whether describing a connection with Appalachian wildlife, retelling the lyrics of a classic country tune, reflecting on the speaker's bloodline, or giving voice to famous musical figures of the past, strikes a powerful chord.
