    A Month in Gascony

    About this ebook

    The southwest of France is beautiful in summer. Fields of sunflowers grow everywhere, the grapes hang long and luscious on the vines, and it was in this atmosphere that the author found herself indulging in one idyllic holiday where she wrote a poem every day. The collection in this book will relate to anyone who has spent time in the country, and for Francophiles, it is a must. Youll find yourself reading it over again and again.

      Four Poems

      I learned the world through the bottoms of my feet, barein the creeks of summer, stepping on pebbles, the squidgeof moss between my toes. On hot asphalt, the hop and skipover cracks, feet already toughened by bramble, dirt, the pricklyground of pine
