Collected here are poems by one of Georgia's most intriguing and talented poets of the twentieth century. Byron Herbert Reece was born in Union County, Georgia, in 1917 and authored four volumes of poems and two novels during his short lifetime. Until now, many of his poems, originally published in the 1940s and 1950s, have been out of print. Reece, who faithfully assumed responsibility for his family's farm when his parents became ill, was never a poet of the academic ivory tower. Indeed, he rebelled against the rising New Criticism associated with the Vanderbilt Fugitives, the elite of southern poetry at that time.

Reece's work reflects both the devastating impact of his parents' death from tuberculosis and his own affliction with the disease, which caused him to distance himself from others: "A solitary thing am I / Upon the roads of rust and flame / That thin at sunset to the air." Reece was also preoccupied with his ambivalence toward the farm, which sustained his solitude yet took time away from his writing: "In the far, dark woods go roving / And find there to match your mood / A kindred spirit moving / Where the wild winds blow in the wood." Reece's poetry is resonant and contemplative, and Jim Clark has included here works that speak for the true grace of Reece's talent. In addition, Clark's attentive introduction should bring increased interest to this notable southern poet.

Great Shirt, Awkward Shoulders
Color: Light Grey, Size: X-Large
I want to start off by saying, I really, really like this shirt. The fabric is spot on: soft, comfortable, not too thick, not too thin. Honestly, it feels like it was made by someone who understands the Goldilocks principle of clothing. So why only 4 stars instead of 5? The shoulders. I ordered my usual XL, and while the rest of the shirt fit great, the shoulders were so tight I felt like I should audition for the role of the Hulk. I exchanged it for an XXL, and now the shoulders fit perfectly… but the rest of the shirt feels like it’s training me for a parachute jump. If it weren’t for that one sizing quirk, I’d swear off buying any other shirt ever again.

Beautiful color, great fit! Has a nice feel to it worth investing in more colors🙂slightly wrinkled but an iron or steam will probably take those out, has a softer feel to the fabric
