Rogers, a Vietnam vet. and longtime resident of west central Arkansas, draws on his sharp wit, playful love of words, and sensitive powers of observation to produce some of the finest snapshots of modern American country life available today. Rogers' poems are sweet, slow, mellow meditations with a bit of a sting sometimes. This collection of poetry will have readers laughing and wiping tears from their eyes at the same time.
