This is the third book of poems by Hollis Davis. His first book, Coffee Shop Poems with Cream, was well-received, as was his second book, As I See It. The eclectic appeal of the second book continued with thirty different favorite selections by his readers. Oklahoma Sounds is a look inside Mr. Davis and his words reflect the language of his early years of his life on a farm in Oklahoma during the depression of the thirties. He learned the Oklahoma language from Mother and Father. Both read and sang to him. His mother, a student of the King James Version of the Bible, memorized and quoted many verses. She loved to read and write poetry and taught with metaphors. These were the primary sources of his speech patterns. Short words express the larger thoughts and the words are his Oklahoma voice. The early sounds came and stayed, only modified with time. What sounds does the son of an Oklahoma sharecropper make when expressing the paradox of his passions while viewing his changing perspective? Some pictures of ancestors and relatives from the twentieth century with whom he shares DNA and environment are shown in this book. He has written poems about many of them in his three books of poems., ISBN13: 9781604411256 ISBN10: 1604411252 Material Type: paperbackThis is the third book of poems by Hollis Davis.
