Synopsis
William Jolliff’s newest collection of poetry is a love song for a way of life that is no more. With the coming of industrial agriculture to rural Ohio, family farms—and the communities they created and sustained—passed away. And so too, now, have the women, the men, and most of the children who did the work. In the tradition of wise old farmers who would never let simple truth get in the way of a complicated story, At Rest in My Father’s House is a confluence of family fictions, real-life events, and transformed memories. Each poem offers readers an intimate passage into the bottomlands of flyover country. Taken together, they chronicle a particular sensibility, a way of being in relationship with a place that—though ignored by the broader culture—is well worth remembering.
My Review
This is a nice poetry book. I enjoyed the storysheld within the words. The poems read like great short stories about life on a farm. These were enjoyable a day I am glad I read this book. This is not my usual type or preferred type. I like the powerful emotional types but I still found it interesting. The front cover and title just drew me in. As poetry is a very personal thing. What I rate 3 stars might be your 4 or 5 stars book. So I would definitely give this book a go as you can always download a sample from most major retailers to see if it is the perfect match for you. This type of poetry messes with my autism as my head just won't recognise it as poetry. It will only accept it as short stories. So go on give this a try and help support independent authors.
Many thanks to the author and publishing team for allowing me to read this book for review.
