Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia by Patricia Neely-Dorsey

 

 

Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia: A Life in Poems

My book Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia is a true celebration of the  south and things southern. Using childhood memories, personal thoughts and dreams, I attempt to give a positive glimpse into the southern way of life. There are so many negative connotations   associated with Mississippi and the south in general. I want to show a flip side of the coin.There is much to love about this much maligned and misunderstood part of our country. I would really love for you to get to KNOW Mississippi (and the south) in a different light and I want to introduce you. I invite you to Meet Mississippi Through Poetry, Prose and the written word.

Thank you for stopping by my site and showing an interest in my "little book of southern poems"
