Brush Country Billie Houston

Brush Country is a collection of poems that vary in style, tone, length, and content. Their unity is in the setting, the Brush Country of Central Texas. Whether rugged and rough hewn as the tangled underbrush that grows in in stubborn profusion beneath stately oaks and scrubby mesquites, or as finely wrought as fragile flowers that bloom in shady glades and hidden places, these poems reflect the unique environment, the ambiguous nature, and the exceptional people who inhabit this unusual little corner of the world.
