Patricia L. Stevenson

Opis

In SOUTH OF 30 NORTH, Patricia L. Stevenson presents a side of Florida that only a native could reveal so clearly. Ms. Stevenson has written a collection of fifty-three poems filled with feelings, impressions, and reflections of her experiences and other observations of nature and life while growing up and living in Florida. Her poems range widely in both topic and tenor revealing the mundane to the extraordinary; and from the lighter sides of life to its darkest edges. Every poem tells a story, no matter how short. Ms. Stevenson's poetry flows and ebbs like the ocean's waters, in turn, touching us with gentleness or with the force of violence. The poems in SOUTH OF 30 NORTH remind us of the joys of childhood, the loss of innocence, as well as the waning of life with equal measures of humor, strength, and sensitivity."
