Taboos: Poems Virginia Lee Hines

A first book at age eighty-four, TABOOS: POEMS is interesting and daring. Versatile artist, poet and essayist Virginia Lee Hines tackles difficult topics, paints timeless pictures with skillful words, transports readers to far-off places in other times-Iowa, the Adirondacks, Missouri, Chicago, Mexico... This spirited and progressive poet has long been retired to a quiet life in the Rochester, NY area, where she mentors woman poets in a private writers group, enjoys reading and the company of her children and grandchildren. The topics of Hines' poems will surprise you, maybe even inspire.
