"Stephen Hedrick's poetry evokes the Old South and the new with sly humor and the keen insight of a native son. In his verse we see and feel the wraith-like morning mist on a mountain, an undulating sea of kudzu, and the come-hither gaze of a Southern belle. 'Tall Tales & Sonnets of the South' is a paean to a place that exists in our hearts."

"One more book about the South? Yes, please! And this is the one!"
"These rhyming stories and poems - a mix of Eugene Field and Disney's Song of the South will rope in anyone who loves a well-told and well-illustrated story. Poetry or no."

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
