A gathering of Riley’s poems about home and the longing for it, from the yearning title verse ‘We Must Get Home’ to ‘Thinkin’ Back’ and ‘His Room’. Some are in standard English and some in the Hoosier dialect that made him famous, with old folks remembering apple blossoms, mothers’ faces and the patience to say good-bye.
Gentle verse from the people’s poet of Indiana, for readers who enjoy nostalgia without irony. Download the free EPUB.
