In A Box
'In A Box' Summary
The poems in "In A Box" offer glimpses into the heart of rural America. Riley captures the innocence of childhood in poems like "Little Orphant Annie," with her iconic rhyme of "The Gobble-uns'll Git You," and the charm of simple joys in verses about nature and everyday experiences. He also explores the emotions of loss and longing, painting portraits of love, friendship, and the passage of time. While often infused with humor, Riley's poems also possess a deep-seated tenderness that resonates with the human experience, offering a timeless perspective on life, love, and the beauty of everyday moments.Book Details
