A Touching Family Portrait
Anyone with a family should appreciate Fleda Brown's captivating remembrances. The characters are familiar to all of us: the excentric Aunt Cleone, the fragile mother, the retarded brother. While all family's are not alike, they do all have their "characters," and that is what makes Dr. Brown's work so applicable. A good read for all of us!

America's Most Boring Book
Nothing captivates me in this book of trite words placed in conjunction to produce an effect. What the author aimed for was the poetic but what she hit was the rump of Morpheous which quickly vented its cloud of sleep upon the reader.

a beautiful book,
By barbara fernelius (houston, texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Do Not Peel the Birches (Paperback)
Fleda Brown Jackson's poetry touched my heart. I do not have a sister and yet when I shared "Michelle" with my friend Jana and watched tears come to her eyes I knew it was good. I do not own a lake house, yet her intricate glimpses of family at leisure (but still carrying their own unique problems and personalities) spoke to me. I teach AP junior English; I know and appreciate Dickinson, Cummings, and Eliot. I also enjoy the poetry of Ms. Jackson; I can't wait to read her other book.
