On the Porch, Under the Eave

ON THE PORCH, UNDER THE EAVE is a look into home, family, growing up, growing away, and returning to the people of the past. The author gives the perspectives of a detached viewer peeking into windows. She also gives the point of view from one who is partially inside, looking at the outside world. Simpson’s Southern roots influence her poems that are in part narrative tales and, also, lyrical observations.
