Barefootin' the Country

Inspired by life experiences, Lacey Arthur's poetry focuses on relationships, family, love, education, and spirituality. Her work portrays the average person's everyday life in an almost melodious sense with regard to tone, voice, and natural rhythm. This gives her poetry a musical quality in very common language. Southern influence is evident through the use of dialect, events, and imagery. She uses wit and metaphor to create complex scenes and concepts in simple dialogue. This collection reveals not only who she is and where she's been, but what she believes.
