“Everybody spoke English in my class, and they would turn to me and say, "What's going on in your country?" I would try to explain to Austrians, Poles, Australians, Israelis, Costa Ricans - people from all over the world - what was going on in our country. I would have to say, "I don't know what's going on, either. It's pretty evenly divided in our country. Sometimes one part's on top, and other times, the other faction is on top, and right now it's just crazy. We hate it as much as you do."” PeopleWorldTryingCountrySometimesHateCrazy Author:Barbara Hamby
“Cynie Cory roams the outer reaches of the heart’s territory, from the snowy winter of family life to the tropical jungles of love. She wears her heart on her sleeve and it is as big as the country she writes about. Is she the quintessential American girl? You bet she is, part Annie Oakley, part Emily Dickinson—sharpshooting poet of wild nights. She zooms in on the detritus of love—the broken fragments, the fallen leaves—and puts together a collage that is as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. Watch out—she’s driving down your street.” WritingHeartCountryBigsTogetherBeautifulNightGirlWatchesStreetsPoetBrokenWinterDrivingFallenTerritoryFragmentsJungleFamily LifeSleevesHeartbreakingEmilyTropicalAnnieCollagesSnowyQuintessentialZoomFallen LeavesWild Nights Author:Barbara Hamby
