Not Quite on Grand Avenue

<p><em>Not Quite on Grand Avenue: Poems of the Early Years</em> is a collection of deeply personal poems that take us to a small town in the 1940s and early 1950s in Nebraska as seen by a young girl negotiating her way through the cords of family friends and freedoms. From the raw end of innocence as a family falls apart to forging independence through exploring the countryside on a horse to rediscovering comfort in family these poems show the joys and challenges of growing up in a home with a front yard in town and a backyard in the country.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>--</p>
