This is a nice book of poems. I wouldn't say that the poems are brilliantly written, however they are rather personal and offer up interesting insights into the life of Jimmy Carter. I enjoyed reading them, and after reading them I think I would like to read more written by him. He comes across to me as an admirable person who had such an interesting life.

A poetic lens into the life and youth of Jimmy Carter without getting too far into the details. Certainly worth the little bit of time it takes to appreciate a few simple stories.

This was for a challenge of some sort. It was a book my mom had of poetry. Some of these were really good and spoke to me, but some were too old for my time and you could tell were really personal to the author. Some seemed to be pure catharsis for Carter and other seemed to be out of pure joy. Some were very deep and thoughtful. It was an insightful read into his personality.

Jimmy carter deserves praise!!
Not only is he a wonderful human being, but he is also an incredible writer. His poetry is beautiful, well formed, and speaks softly and earnestly on topics of agriculture, race, family, and nature.

Just when I thought I couldn’t love Jimmy Carter any more I find his poetry and now I love him even more!! His poems were all so endearing and kind and I loved the insight it gave me into his mind!
