Editorial Reviews

On the deathbed of her beloved mother, Tamara Martin inherited her collected papers and writings. In the terrible grief, pain and sorrow of her death and funeral. they were put aside in a box, which ended up in a dusty attic. Some years later, after a difficult divorce and the joy of meeting and marrying her true soul mate Michael, she again discovered the box of her mother's writing and saw for the first time, a forgotten folder of poems. Thus began Tamara's journey of discovery to full awareness of the creative force that was her mother. Vern's creativity and talent had been buried beneath the weight of bigotry, indifference, ignorance and intolerance for a lifetime.

In this special selection, taken from the book of the same name, you will discover poems of great depth and poignancy contrasted with light funny poems of 'Maw-Maws Magic Gum', 'bees caught in a jar' and 'shirt tails' for a kite written for sons, daughters and grandchildren. There are also poems of universal appeal to all of us about life and its many problems that give new insight into the choices made, pathways taken and their impact on others. There are poems of immense passion and love for family and of the times Tamara and Vernice lived through. In the book there are many more wonderful photographs of friends and family members that provide a fascinating glimpse back to the splendor of pre-war Egan, Eunice, Crowley and Lafayette, Louisiana.
