She began writing her poetry after the untimely death of her first son in 1937. Her poetry writing continued as she became the teacher in the one-room schoolhouse near her home. She loved her life as a wife and mother, and she dearly loved God and Nature; they were common topics of her verse, gathered here in The Other Side of Me.
Her fondest desire was to have this compilation of her poetry published. Her niece, Dorothy Anne Kilgore-Summers, with the encouragement of her husband, Ralph, is now honoring her Aunt Dorothy’s wish; with the publication of this inspiring poetry collection. She was a very happy lady, and her poems examine the many sides of her life.vizualizați mai puține
