The Life and Writings of Barbara Nelson Blinn

Barbara wrote poetry about real-life - her thoughts and circumstances. What makes these books especially unique is that her daughter, Carol, knew the background about why some of the poems were written. She added editorial comments for the reader's added enjoyment. She also noted the year the poem was written if known.
