| Summary |
"Black Tupelo Country, a poetry collection, explores the themes of animism, superstition, and anachronism as they occur in rural Midwestern landscapes and urban strip malls. Many poems explore how the natural and supernatural worlds interconnect in language and perception, and the human tendency to read nature into fears and longings"--Provided by publisher. |
