Description
Dear Blackbird, is a collection of lyric-narrative poems that seeks to capture the spirit of the rural southern towns my family grew up in. As such, letters to a blackbird (written from the point of view of a scarecrow) are interspersed like grain in between lamentations directed toward a lost childhood. When writing it I had in mind James Wright's sentiment: I want all of the love in life with all of the pain left in.
