by Anne Poarch


There is grit and joy in life.

You can eat a peach,

taste the soft silky sweetness of the fruit,

and still catch a flake of pit in your mouth.

I’ll take the unwelcome to get at the heart.

Come and visit the orchard with me;

We’ll shake the trees and give out bushels of joy.

(“Grit & Joy” by Anne Poarch)


PRAISE FOR THE GRIT AND JOY OF BEING:

"Within the interplay of nature and sensuality is where Anne's poetry soars. This collection, while steeped in the Southern tradition, is also about soulful transcendence." —Tembi Locke, actor, advocate, and author of From Scratch
