The GLIMPSE BENEATH the SYCAMORE TREE: Poems from the Hills

By Huey James Perry

The reader will delight in this reflective and grounded collection of poems each shaped by memory, place, and moral attention. Rooted in Appalachian landscapes and old towns with creeks and hollows, the poems draw from lives that knew hardship, community, hope and endurance. Themes of family bonds, aging, childhood poverty, loss, love and survival are written in a language that is plainspoken, philosophical and lyrical. Many poems unfold like stories shared across a kitchen table or under a shade tree with a patient Appalachian voice revealing life's truths and universal emotions that transcend across generations, that quietly ask the reader to decide what do we carry forward, what do we owe each other, what deserves remembrance when time thins our days?
