Description
Texas, Being A State of Poems collects over forty-five poems that explore the complexities and contradictions of this vast American state. Jenny Browne, 2017 poet laureate of Texas, has curated a diverse selection of voices that reflect the state's unique blend of beauty and brutality. These poems speak to a wide range of themes, from the natural world to personal experiences, and often blur the lines between history and memory. From the seashores to the deserts, and from the vibrant cities to the rural landscapes, each poem offers a unique perspective on Texas and its people. The result is a rich tapestry of voices that capture the essence of this enigmatic state. Through these poems, we gain insight into the poetic soul of Texas, where contradictions and paradoxes are woven together to create a complex and multifaceted identity.
