Forecast: Pretty Bleak - Poems

“This is no quaint voice from the Land of Anne of Green Gables. Suffused with our era’s geist and angst, which have penetrated to the rural periphery, Bailey is a sharp-eyed, clarion-voiced witness.” --Richard Lemm Confessional, candid, and firmly grounded, these poems shine a light on a corner of our country and lift up voices that are rarely heard.
