Told in the Seed and Selected Poems
Told in the Seed and Selected Poems from Sanora Babb’s more than sixty years of writing and publishing poetry. This new collection adds many of her earliest poems.
The new introduction by Carol S. Loranger notes that “Of all Sanora Babb’s writings, it is the poetry, perhaps, that offers the most intimate and unvarnished picture of the woman and the artist.�
The introduction further weaves together relevant information about Babb’s life, with the more personal poems, to further enhance the reader’s appreciation.
Babb published her first poem at fourteen in the Forgan Eagle and continued to write and publish poetry from the 1920s to the early 1990s. She won the Borestone Mountain Poetry Award in 1967 for “Told in the Seed� and the Gold Medal Award in 1932 for “Captive� from the Mitre Press Anthology, London.
Having a strong empathy with people and their daily lives, an affinity with all in the natural world, and the ability to elevate the ordinary into the extraordinary, Babb reflects all this in her poetry. Her poems quicken with lyricism, clarity, and a powerful sense of immediacy.
