A Place Where Trees Had Names Les Brown

"The poems in Les Brown's A Place Where Trees Had Names are as carefully crafted as the unique pottery one might discover at one of his exhibitions. But like most poetry of significance, it's not just the polished form, but the range of knowledge and emotion that Brown, as a scientist, artist, and thinker brings to this vivid portrayal of a Blue Ridge childhood that creates a dazzling experience for the readers."--Tim Peeler, author of West of Mercy and Checking Out
