Virginia is for lovers and all the poets showcased in this anthology are Virginia lovers. From the soothing waves of her ancient shores to the rolling hills of her Piedmont and majesty of her Appalachian Mountains, Virginia is a state of beauty, history and mystic persuasion. The poems in this volume are by poets who know Virginia intimately and have penned their affection for her and experiences with her. A book you will treasure if you are a Virginian by birth or by choice or perhaps a fervent admirer of The Old Dominion.
Congratulations on your new book! I agree with you completely in your written assessment of Virginia: that is, it truly is a lovely state, containing such a variety of natural beauty and a rich cultural history. Each time my wife and I drive from our home in West Virginia to North Carolina, where our son lives, we pass through Virginia, always admiring the beauty of its clean, rolling hills and meadows, dotted with healthy cattle, grazing from God's green earth. In fact, we will be heading that way in a month or so. Again, congratulations, and may your sales be many.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
