Collected here are poems by one of Georgia's most intriguing and talented poets of the twentieth century. Byron Herbert Reece was born in Union County, Georgia, in 1917 and authored four volumes of poems and two novels during his short lifetime. Until now, many of his poems, originally published in the 1940s and 1950s, have been out of print. Reece, who faithfully assumed responsibility for his family's farm when his parents became ill, was never a poet of the academic ivory tower. Indeed, he rebelled against the rising New Criticism associated with the Vanderbilt Fugitives, the elite of southern poetry at that time.

Reece's work reflects both the devastating impact of his parents' death from tuberculosis and his own affliction with the disease, which caused him to distance himself from others: "A solitary thing am I / Upon the roads of rust and flame / That thin at sunset to the air." Reece was also preoccupied with his ambivalence toward the farm, which sustained his solitude yet took time away from his writing: "In the far, dark woods go roving / And find there to match your mood / A kindred spirit moving / Where the wild winds blow in the wood." Reece's poetry is resonant and contemplative, and Jim Clark has included here works that speak for the true grace of Reece's talent. In addition, Clark's attentive introduction should bring increased interest to this notable southern poet.

Best moisturizer I have bought in years!!
Love this stuff. Best moisturizer I bought in years, and let me tell you I bought quite a few. Try it! It works. I put it on m face at night and it works wonders on my hands. I am in Colorado and the dryness here is overwhelming. I wear make up and all kinds of skin care during the day, but this is a great addition as a wonderful moisturizer.

Life and Skin Changer/Saver!!
This has absolutely changed my skin and life for the better! I tend to have dry and sensitive skin. Traditional lotions and creams last only a few minutes or hours with minimal relief. My hands were getting very dry and wrinkly, but the Beef Tallow has brought my hands back to normal. I even started using it on my face and LOVE IT! The ingredients seem to be minimal using beef tallow, honey, olive oil, etc. It’s not just a surface level moisturizer - it seeps deep into the skin. My family has tried it and can’t wait to buy their own!!

This tallow and honey balm is a really good product!
I really like this Tallow and honey balm. Actually, I use it as a face cream and it is really smooth. What I like the most is that it’s not really greasy feeling when you put it on but once it’s absorbed into the skin your skin feels smooth. You don’t need much either. It comes with a little scoop so that you aren’t sticking your fingers in it. I’m glad I tried it because it is a good value. Another thing, it smells really good and I think it’s because of the ingredients of tallow and honey.
