Barefootin' the Country
ISBN: 9781490724577 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Inspired by life experiences, Lacey Arthur's poetry focuses on relationships, family, love, education, and spirituality.

Southern influence is evident through the use of dialect, events, and imagery. She uses wit and metaphor to create complex scenes and concepts in simple dialogue. This collection reveals not only who she is and where she's been, but what she believes.
