The Dirt She Ate: Selected and New Poems
by Minnie Bruce Pratt

Description
Suffused with pain and power, Minnie Bruce Pratt's poetry is as evocative of the swamps and streets of the southern United States as it is of the emotional lives of those too often forced into the margins of society. Vivid, lush, and intensely honest, these poems capture the rough edges of the world and force us to pay attention.Tags

While I prefer Pratt's prose, I did enjoy the section of poems about her sons.
