I started writing down ideas and poems many years ago. I would just think of some, or look for inspiration (such as rainbows and sunsets, and morning fresh snow).

But also, there are real memories and feelings in these poems, and they are what made me into the better person I am today. These poems are true and from the heart - we hope you will enjoy this listen!

Mountain Laurels is a second edition of the original collection of poems self-published in 1977. It was the first published collection of poems written by Genevieve C. Sparks (1920-2003) over many years in what she called "the simple form of mountain colloquial". While some individual poems draw their meaning from a personal experience of the poet, "the basic thought of the book in its entirety is," she says, "the great inspiration derived from the love of nature." Living in West Virginia, many of her poems speak the wonders of the Appalachian mountain world.

Today, we exist in the middle of a world torn by the ravishes of war, progress, and greed and the resulting wood, steel, and mortar that make up much of our habited areas often hide or camouflage the beauty of nature. Momentarily outside a window, a blue jay appears or a city is blanketed with the super whiteness of a snowstorm or even a child sees the annoying presence of a roach or mouse across a kitchen counter, and we pause to remember that natures' voices are all around us, and surprisingly, we are in the middle of it all.

In this new collection of poems, essays, and flash fiction, the author once again exhibits her ability to write about both the light and dark sides of life. There are numerous poems and stories about nature: its kindness, cruelty, and wonder. There are frank expressions of the sadness and frustration she felt at the progressive loss of her eyesight and a poem about the social isolation that disability can bring. Other pieces, though, sing of joys as diverse as family closeness, the love of dogs, the delights of scents, and the power of the muse.

What Hiram Larew offers in this fifth collection is a grateful glisten of poems. Many were written as outdoor rambles during the 2020-21 pandemic; others look back over a shoulder at what seems long ago, and some are simply puddles of ponder.
