Collected here are poems by one of Georgia's most intriguing and talented poets of the twentieth century. Byron Herbert Reece was born in Union County, Georgia, in 1917 and authored four volumes of poems and two novels during his short lifetime. Until now, many of his poems, originally published in the 1940s and 1950s, have been out of print. Reece, who faithfully assumed responsibility for his family's farm when his parents became ill, was never a poet of the academic ivory tower. Indeed, he rebelled against the rising New Criticism associated with the Vanderbilt Fugitives, the elite of southern poetry at that time.

Reece's work reflects both the devastating impact of his parents' death from tuberculosis and his own affliction with the disease, which caused him to distance himself from others: "A solitary thing am I / Upon the roads of rust and flame / That thin at sunset to the air." Reece was also preoccupied with his ambivalence toward the farm, which sustained his solitude yet took time away from his writing: "In the far, dark woods go roving / And find there to match your mood / A kindred spirit moving / Where the wild winds blow in the wood." Reece's poetry is resonant and contemplative, and Jim Clark has included here works that speak for the true grace of Reece's talent. In addition, Clark's attentive introduction should bring increased interest to this notable southern poet.

finally organized all my jewerly!
Color: Black
This jewelry box completely transformed the way I store and access my accessories. It’s not just functional, it’s genuinely beautiful, with a sleek design that looks great on my dresser. The exterior feels sturdy and well-made, and the interior is soft and luxurious, keeping all my pieces protected and tangle-free. There’s a perfect place for everything: rings, earrings, necklaces, and even watches or bracelets. I especially love the multiple compartments and drawers, which make it easy to separate everyday items from special pieces. No more digging around or untangling chains! The mirror inside is a thoughtful touch, and the box itself feels compact enough for smaller spaces while still holding a surprising amount. It’s one of those things that makes daily routines feel a little more put-together. If you’re looking for a jewelry box that’s practical, elegant, and gift-worthy, this one checks every box. Great for personal use or as a thoughtful present.

Prefect Travel Case
Color: Black, Color: Black
I got this for taking my jewelry on the go. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality it feels very sturdy. It has several spots to hold jewelry and keep it organized. The outside is textured and it closes with a snap which can be done easily.

Small, bu holds a lot
Color: Black
I initially purchased the Jewelry Box Necklace Ring Storage Organizer as a gift for my 8-year-old daughter. The compact design and practical features seemed perfect for her little trinkets. However, its quality and style so took me upon receiving it, I decided to keep it for myself! The jewelry box is small, but it holds a lot with a double-layer structure that provides ample storage space for various types of jewelry. It easily accommodates rings, necklaces, and other small accessories without clutter. One of the highlights of this product is its portability. Its compact size makes it an ideal travel companion. I've taken it on several trips, and it has proven incredibly convenient. It keeps all my jewelry neatly organized and easy to find, eliminating the hassle of untangling necklaces or searching for a matching earring.

I didn’t receive the item and I let Amazon know the item was not delivered. Apparently, they don’t care to follow up with my lost order. Hummm, I wonder how the owner of Amazon would solve this problem.
