Bluebonnets, Firewheels, and Brown-eyed Susans, or, Poems New and Used from the Bandera Rag and Bone Shop

Few poets of Western America fill the "organic intellectual" role better than David Lee. His poetry is the real deal when it comes to recording hilariously insightful observations of rural culture - and America at large - while using a host of astute literary allusions and techniques. Bluebonnets, Firewheels, and Brown-Eyed Susans is focused on the women of mid-20th century rural Texas.
