From Peacock Lane: The Poetry and Prose of Emily Evans Volume 1

An ideal gift for a gentle reader of any age, this first volume of the series,The Essence of Emily Evansincludes a symphony of intensely descriptive pieces. The settings range from the author's childhood years on an Ohioan farm through her time in Buffalo, Brooklyn, Greenwich Village, Cocoa Beach, and more. Filled with lyric poems of nature, and thrilling, delightful, and sometimes wrenching images of her personal experiences, it was awarded five stars by Literary Titan, who declared it "a very promising start to a series."
