Thanks for writing these and sharing. They are just beautiful and bring back alot of memories for me. Bonnie

Beautiful Blog! Through your writings, you really make a person like me (native Mississippian with mixed feelings about the State) remember and appreciate ALL the good that the State has to offer.

Patricia, after having visited this remarkable site, I certainly intend to buy your book. You are a remarkable lady who has my admiration. Wish there were more people like you who wish to preserve our southern way of life. I was born in 1930 in a cotton mill village. That was during the Depression, but as Dickens wrote, "It was the worst of times; it was the best of times". Wonderful memories. My late husband Hubert J. Howell was born in Itawamba County, MS. You & I are face book friends. I enjoy Bob Franks photography immensely. ~~~My best, Monte (P.S. I taught high school English for 30 years.)

Loved your book and love Mississippi. Your poems remind me time spent at my Mississippi grandmother's house just a little north of where you were raised. Your work resonates! Thank you for such a lovely gift

What a wonderful blessing to find your web site and Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia on this special day, Father's Day!
Your poems have brought many Crocodile Tears todaybecause like you Mississippi will always be "home' no matter where I roam. We were truly blessed to have this Mississippi country form our core belief in family and love of our background! I've lived all over the U S, ,but have always said with pride that I was from Mississippi. Those that criticize are unfortunately uninformed of the truth about our state
I also agree with you about rhyming poems. There is a rhythm that fascinates and thrills me. Academia can somtime try to be so 'current' that the enjoyment is overlooked!
You look too young to be a grandmother, but look forward to having grandchildren because they will cling to your Mississippi stories and poems!
Again, thank you for a lovely 2 hours of reflections on "our beloved state"!
Blessings,
Janice

Nancy Hellams (aka Ohme) is a very good friend of mine and has called me several times to read me your poems so we could laugh together. I ordered both of them today and can't wait to get them!
