Poetry and Thoughts Throughout My Years

Growing up in Ohio, Mildred Thayer Carneal enjoyed all the pleasures and pains life had to offer. But it was when she entered third grade that she realized how she could express herself through the magic of poetry. Written over fifty-eight years, from 1954 to 2012, Poetry and Thoughts reveals Carneal's life from childhood through adulthood by using anecdotes, thoughts, and poetry. Her words reveal a diverse perception and a keen attention to detail, and each section is filled with vivid imagery.
