About this item
by Lin Brummels (Author)
"The Last Yellow Rose immerses the reader in the complexities of loss, betrayal, lack of communication, and of family. . . . These poems pay attention to enriching details of work on the farm, for instance, the technique of teaching very young calves to drink from a bucket, and the details of cooking large meals to take to the field during harvest, as well as cooking food for the special diet required for a child with PKU. These poems tell it like it is. There is sadness here but there is also grace and determination . . . ."
Marjorie Saiser, author of The Track the Whales Make
