These I would keep

This little volume, collected and edited by beloved author Helen Blackshear, features the work of nine writers who have served as poet laureates of the state of Alabama, including that of Blackshear herself and of acclaimed writer and present poet laureate Helen Norris. It also features a foreword by Governor Don Siegelman. "Poetry speaks in many tongues," writes Carl Morton in one poem included in the volume. These I Would Keep generously captures them all.
