Good Work for Small Hands

Good Work for Small Hands is a collection of poems about childhood spaces - those found in the yard, the home and the heart. The poems follow the wanderings of a little in her Missouri backyard during the 1970s. Whether lying under a fluffy pink mimosa tree, picking dandelions for her mama or fending off the advances of a neighbor in his shed, our narrator navigates all of her longing and confusion while remaining full of hope and wonder.
