Barefootin' the Country

By Lacey Arthur

Inspired by life experiences, Lacey Arthur's poetry focuses on relationships, family, love, education, and spirituality. Her work portrays the average person's everyday life in an almost melodious sense with regard to tone, voice, and natural rhythm. This gives her poetry a musical quality in very common language. Southern influence is evident through the use of dialect, events, and imagery. She uses wit and metaphor to create complex scenes and concepts in simple dialogue. This collection reveals not only who she is and where she's been, but what she believes.

Lacey Arthur

Born the only child to married high school sweethearts, Lacey Arthur grew up in Eastern North Carolina a true southern "tomboy", very active in both team and outdoor sports. As a proud member of a very musical family, she shares the same love and actively participates with her family's singing group. She met her husband while in high school. They successfully maintained a long distance relationship and married after college. She holds two Bachelor of Science degrees in Biological Sciences with pre-med concentration and Business Administration with healthcare management concentration. She has minors in Chemistry and Creative Writing. After reading some of Lacey's work, a high school English teacher advised her to take some creative writing classes in college to sculpt her craft. Later in college a poetry professor advised her to attempt publication to share her work. Although most of her education involves healthcare, poetry has always been a cherished love.
