    About this ebook

    Driftwood is a collection of wonderful poems, preceded by a delightful short story. The true-life account, Quacker House, The Raising of Six Ducks, will appeal to children as well as the young at heart. Violet Overmyer penned this story and her award winning poems in the late 1930s through the late 1950s. Like pieces of driftwood, her works finally came to shore at Brass Hinge Publishing. Step back in time and enjoy her charming view of life. These are thoughts, written by a loving schoolteacher, from an era when life was more than just living.

      Worlds Of Ink And Paper

      Nov 22, 2022

      As a young girl, I still remember my dear mother, smile on her face, curled up with Family Circle magazine in her lap. She was engrossed in an article titled “Butternut Wisdom,” written by Gladys Taber. At my age, it didn’t mean a thing to me. But as

      Possessed By Possessions

      Dec 7, 2022

      YOU can’t judge a book by its title. I have no idea how Possessed by Bruce Hood made its way onto my bedside table, but there it has been lurking, unread, for the past couple of years. I assumed it was either a passionate romance (bleurgh) or about d

      Flood The World With Beauty

      Nov 1, 2019

      A big literary conference is probably not the best place for a poet dealing with a mental breakdown. But there I was at AWP, skittishly perusing tables at the book fair, under the garish lights of the Minneapolis Convention Center. For two years, par
