Out Of The Ozarks
by: William Childress
William Childress has roamed the Ozarks of Missouri, Illinois, and Arkansas
for 13 years. His training as a poet—he has published three books
of poems—helps him create splendor and grace in a description of
a sunset or shape the mood of a rainy autumn day. Through striking word-pictures
of his life, you will meet Chilly’s irascible, lovable stepfather,
his three sons, and long-dead members of his family whose lives or deeds
touched him and were chronicled. And you will laugh with his neighbors
and friends, whose humor helps them through life in a county that has
been called “one of the poorest in America.” They are not all
saints, nor are the Ozarks heaven—just “paradise with the gate
left off.” 208 pgs.
