From the 1950's into 2000, we glimpse into Ibby Greer's life through her poetry.
From hopscotch to sloppy joes in the school cafeteria to her love of traveling by train, these snippets weave a rich tapestry of one womans life. Memories of her mother and aunt talking "over black coffee, smoking Chesterfield Kings between sips and laughing." Ibby recalls pretty dresses, political assasinations, education, love, marriage and second chances.
In Paper Faces, we learn of Ibby's life through little vinettes in time. Peppered with family pictures, her book is funny, sometimes poignant and always revealing.
Someone once said "everyone has a story."
Ibby Greer has lived volumns.
Lynn, many thanks. You caught the spirit of this memoir :) Looking forward to spending more time with you, hearing about your writing, and seeing your writing group members again!
