Publisher's Synopsis
From hurricanes, church potlucks and summer camp, to first crushes, lost loves and trying to fit in--Bright Somewhere follows one woman's journey from childhood and adolescence in the Deep South, through her years at a small liberal arts college in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and into adulthood as she returns to her roots in southern Alabama. This collection of poetry is about trying to recapture the playfulness and exuberance of youth that we often lose as we move into adulthood, a time when we usually need it the most. It also describes our need to find peaceful moments in times of trouble--little islands of hope where we can stop, rest for a moment and catch our breath.
