Milldust and Roses — Larry Smith

Cultural Writing. This new book by the publisher of Bottom Dog Press is a memoir of a midwest town and family, a time and place, and a life. "It is Smith's simple directness, human scale, and respect for reality that makes his MILLDUST AND ROSES such a sweet, kind, modest, touching, and unassuming book" -- David Budbill."MILLDUST AND ROSES is a beautiful tapestry, the substance of which describes an Ohio Valley working-class family from the mid-century onward" -- Holly Beye.
