Synopsis
These poems weave fact with fiction; and their details, settings, characters, and voices were influenced by the author s interactions with innumerable sources diaries, memoirs, letters, and periodicals, to name a few. Though we might imagine such sources to be largely the black and white of old printing, there is living color winding through due to the author s personal experience, which is explained in a preface to the book. Potter is always original and from the heart, and in this case, her words integrate multicolored impressions of places and people, the things that make up the history of a region.
