Shelley Getten
$14.45 $17.00

In Of Cows and Crows poet Shelley Getten evokes ten years of life on a hardscrabble farm in Central Minnesota as seen through the eyes of a young girl. It's a coming-of-age tale in which the narrator navigates the emotional tumult of her teens while also experiencing the isolation, financial difficulties, and other challenges of living on a farm. Along the way, the poems subtly depict how such a childhood can foster a deep connection to the land and other living things--a process that can heal wounds and strengthen our shared humanness. Of Cows and Crows is rooted in aspects of rural life--poignant, evocative, and dreadful-- that are experienced by few, but are likely to be of interest to many.
