First Words

• Used Book in Good Condition

Joyce Sutphen grew up on a working dairy farm, and her poems recover this lost world, with all its beauty and order. This collection traces a shift in the rural landscape from horses to tractors, from haystacks to hay bales—and watches as time ages and changes the people who make up the story. <i>First Words</i> is both elegy and celebration—ultimately its center is family, then and now.
