Country Poetry: Book One (Volume 1) D. Leo Lund 1st edition

Country Poetry is a collection of poems as well as lyrics to songs that the author has written over the last 50 years. Many are written about his personal experiences and heartaches as he grew from a boy raised in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, just south of Seattle, Washington, into manhood and beyond. He writes with a deep understanding and compassion for the desperately poor and abused having been raised in a household with a violent periodic alcoholic. He also shares a deep faith which is shared in the companion volume, Gospel Poetry. It is difficult not to be touched to the heart by the tragedy and pain revealed in the stories revealed about the people in his prose.
