Bog beskrivelse
With a storyteller's timing and the emotional range of a singer, Darnell Arnoult in her debut collection offers readers a stirring string of poems about the people of Fieldale, Virginia. A planned community founded in the Virginia foothills by Marshall Fields in the early 1900s to support his textile mill, Fieldale was populated by transplanted Appalachian mountain folk. Arnoult herself grew up there, a third-generation resident and among the first generation to go to college. She took away with her the oral history of her home, and in What Travels With Us she captures in poetic form the townspeople's voices, both remembered and imagined. Personal, poignant, and witty, Arnoult's poems look back as they move forward, demonstrating how we are always creating ourselves anew from the experiences we carry with us. ""Pearly Rakes complained // that on long winter nights // Gracie and Charlie // kept the parlor lamp // burning too long, // burning up her kerosene. // Pearly claimed // she courted and married // the same man twice // and never burned up // nearly so much. //Charlie scratched his head. // Told Pearly, // You musta done most of // your courting in the dark.""- from Boarding House
