Early 20th-Century Poems: A Collection by Maude E. Burton

Born in 1885, Maude E. Burton used poetry to express the raw emotions of life during the early 20th century. A native of Davidson County, North Carolina, Maude lived humbly while raising her eight children, four sons and four daughters. This book contains a collection of thirty-two poems. The topics vary from her romanticizing about love to sharing her journey of faith, from mourning the loss of her youngest daughter to the little musings that captured her attention. No matter the poem, she always finds a way to intricately weave her words to express the emotions of her inner soul.
