The Poems of Hattie Parker

Autor Hattie Parker Editat de Barbara Stewart Severson
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Harriet "Hattie" Parker saw a lot of changes in the world during her long life. Born in 1880, she lived through two World Wars, the Great Depression, the Cold War, the Space Age, and the invention of television, automobiles, and airplanes. Always interested in the world, she collected articles of current events and people and pasted them into scrapbooks. She saved obituaries and local news items. But perhaps her favorite thing to do was to make up rhymes in her head about various topics. At about the age of 80, she finally started putting pen to paper and writing poetry. She wrote about Christmas and Nebraska, both of which she obviously loved. She reflected on life and gave advice. She wrote about current events, and shared her disappoint in President Nixon over the Watergate scandal. During her 90s and through age 100, she wrote a poem on each of her birthdays. (Only the 91st birthday poem could not be located for this book.) From the hardships of aging to the joys of life, to the hope of an eternal reward when our days on earth are over, Hattie has something to say to each of us through her late-in-life poetry.
