Lyrics from Cotton Land

From the heart of Dixie come these warm, human songs, full of deep understanding of and love for all the sights, voices, and moods of nature. The author, before his untimely death at the age of thirty0three, showed great literary promise, and he wrote most of the verses collected here. The poems range from delightfully humorous scraps of verse to longer lyrics, and they are full of local color.Originally published in 1922.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
