Publisher's Synopsis
Jen Lowry's second book of Southern poetry captures love, loss, children growing up, saying goodbye to a house, and even a haiku for the best hotdogs from Bill's Place from her hometown. Inspired by her life events, Jen writes from her heart, and this collection is just that - a heartfelt testimony of a woman who sees the world through words. This book has two parts. Fact includes poetry from Jen's memories of her childhood, from front porch swings and drinking peanut drinks, sweet tea, missing her parents, and watching her children grow up. Fiction shares the struggles, pain, hope, and joy of Jen's fictional characters. Each poem is told from a character point of view from a traveling child, a teenage exorcist, a time-traveling bride, a shapeshifter, a pop star, a pizza shop owner, and more. This unique collection echoes the life of Jen Lowry as she moves from fact to fiction every day.
