About this ebook
Written for audiences between the ages of fifteen and seventy-five, "A Challenge of Honors" is a collection of poems that inspires thoughtful countenance.
Lia Waterer
Lia Wilkenson writes in a style of expression that is similar to other modern and contemporary poets. Wilkenson strives to gain her reader's attention with specific imagery and human experience. Her poetry is based on meaningful places, patterns of thought, and relationships. Her poems may be considered a part of the common American heritage of the late twentieth century, with engaging descriptions of countrysides and youthful courting of a hopefilled life. Wilkenson was born in Chicago, Illinois. Her work is attributed in part to the schools of thought and writing that come from the midwest, among these the published volumes by Carl Sandburg and Aldo Leopold. In contrast to more sensational novels, she has chosen thoughtful descriptions for many meaningful and treasured aspects of American life. The poetry in this book is a tribute to the teachings of Chicago's community of writers, and to travels throughout the United States.
