The Old Folks Call It God's Country: Poems of the Tarheel and Palmetto States - Paperback
by Carol Parris Krauss (Author)
Carol Parris Krauss weaves stories of North Carolina and South Carolina through various people and places. Her poems are a glimpse into the place the Old Folk's call "God's Country." From looking outside her grandparent's home in Brevard, North Carolina to recounting her sister's journey to a cottage at Pawleys Island, the reader can travel with her on this journey of recognition and recollection.
-Beth Dulin, writer & editor
"These allusive poems, with references to Jane Kenyon and Eudora Welty, create a kind of liminal space, a pause for reflection between a little girl's miserable corrective shoes and an older woman's sore hip. Carol Krauss can see bullets in red rubber pencil erasers, but also finds grace on mountain tops and a cruise downtown to the old Courthouse. I call shotgun!"
-Christine Potter, author of Unforgetting, Sheltering in Place and The Bean Books series
"Carol Krauss paints a family history that intersects with the beauty and dangers of the natural world. Each poem offers a story to us, full of the wisdom gained from the small hurricanes we live through together."
-Michael Jon Khandelwal, executive director, The Muse Writers Center
