First Words

Poetry. Joyce Sutphen grew up on a working dairy farm, and her poems recover this lost world, with all its beauty and order. This collection traces a shift in the rural landscape from horses to tractors, from haystacks to hay bales — -and watches as time ages and changes the people who make up the story. FIRST WORDS is both elegy and celebration — -ultimately its center is family, then and now.
