New Ground
Strongly evocative of time and place and unified by voice and theme, Nancy Dillingham's poems and prose resonate with the poignancy of a warm Southern day. Like a child's game of hide-and-seek with the moon, these stories and poems take the reader on a journey of shadow and light, of discovery and loss, of sorrow and joy, of found magic -- moving pictures of time-honored beliefs and customs, off-hand cruelties, casual tragedies, unintentional comedy, everyday ritual and pathos.
