“Perhaps I can also add something about the rural setting of Remember You're a One-Ball! The countryside is a place - in mythological and perhaps in very real terms - of mixed innocence and sin. It is seen by townsfolk as idyllic, lazy, free of urban crime and social problems. But those who grow up in the country can tell stories that often surprise those who grow up in the towns.” I CanRealCountryStoriesProblemRememberSocialGrowsTermSinGrowing UpCrimeBallsTownsAddSurpriseSettingSettingsInnocenceLazyUrbanCountrysideRemember YouRemembers YouSocial ProblemsIdyllic Author:Quentin S.

“Memory, faith, and the natural world as both witness to the cycle of human life and healer to a questioning heart are at the core of this lovely and lyrical collection of poems. The weather changes, people come and go from cities and towns, babies are born, grow up and depart from their parents’ arms, but still, the countryside and its rituals sustain the people and creatures who know how to read the signs of the seasons. In these pages, Laura Grace Weldon shares those signs with us; her poems are the fruit of a wonderful harvest.” PeopleKnowsWorldHumansHeartStillsGrowsParentBornNaturalMemoriesCitiesKnow HowGrowing UpGraceWonderfulShareBabyArmsCreaturesPagesSeasonsTownsFruitCoreLovelyWeatherWitnessHuman LifeCollectionsCyclesRitualQuestioningHarvestNatural WorldComes And GoesCountrysideHealerLyricalLauraCities And Towns Author:Eleanor Lerman
