The Country I Come From - Paperback

by Kathryn Hunt (Author)

Plainspoken and unflinching, The Country I Come From celebrates the harsh and enduring beauty of the vast Plains and its inhabitants. These intimate poems are drenched in wonderment and silence, miseries and mysteries, and the stubborn cargo of our individual and collective histories. Woven from "scraps and rumors and imaginings," Kathryn Hunt's collection chronicles a violent and troubled history on the Plains and in the lives of white and indigenous family members - the living and the dead - and their relationships to the land and one another. The Country I Come From reimagines the stories of women and men for whom few records were kept, honors their lives, and explores the nature of belonging, desire, and loss.
