Porch Pickin' People: A Collection of Southern Poetry

Times in the South were struggling times before and after the Civil War on up to WWII. Sometimes the weather didn't cooperate with the farmers who plowed fields near the Tennessee River that sometimes overflowed her banks before Tennessee Valley Authority built dams to check angry waters. But throughout all of the hard times, families survived and thrived. They played their music. Lived and loved. And sometimes mourned while holding on to the faith they brought with them across the Atlantic ocean in the 1600's. This collection of poems by Author Vicki H. Moss was created from snippets passed down through the generations-shared by porch pickin' people from Tennessee and Alabama.
