Publisher's Synopsis
Poems of People is a collection of poetry by author Ace Allen, entailing the joy, heartache, and monotony involved with growing up in the American South. An ode to the ephemeral dance of passing strangers, Poems of People triggers our imaginations with the emotional ambiguity of a fervent young man in search of acceptance. Ace Allen was born in Clarksburg, West Virginia and was raised in Lexington, Kentucky. His stories are founded on the mortal connection between culture and the natural world, juxtaposing complex ideas which illuminate the similarities in our human condition. Allen is an expressive storyteller who keeps his readers guessing with each line, hanging onto each word, yearning for more. 86 pgs. 35 poems. Illustrated by Laura Lugo.
