Advance praise for Hard-Packed ClayThese elegiac poems plumb the depths of loss, but the beauty and craft in their making, the honoring of lived lives, achieves, as the author hopes, “the heart’s resurgent beat of hope.” Like Yeats, Joyce Brown is the rare poet whose work achieves more power after youth and middle-age. Hard-Packed Clay is a marvel.—Ron Rash, author of SerenaJoyce Compton Brown’s captivating HardPacked Clay is a kind of family reunion, elucidating as any traditional Southern Decoration where visitation at gravesites is both with the living and the dead—“This graveyard is a storybook.” Meeting there are those of the past belonging to an incorrigible religion/community and those of the present who are more tolerant. Stories told at such gatherings involve the struggles of progenitors, duel edged with hope for a better future.
