A Cinder In My Knee

Carol Townsends first chapbook presents 24 poems chronicling her life growing up on her fathers farm in downstate New York in the 1950s and 60s. Raised on a small family dairy farm in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains whose one hundred-fifty acres she roamed as a child her poetry evokes poignant images of farm life. Her familys rural delivery address was Happy Avenue Swan Lake always an embarrassing revelation; nevertheless indicative of heart-warming relationships and memories especially of her father.
