Overview
In Poems From Rockport… and Other Enchanting Places, Jean King narrates her poetry about the coastal town of Rockport, Massachusetts, a place she calls her "second home." Poems about her sojourn in The Lebanon are filled with imagery. In Vagabond Lady, she "came into the land as quietly as the night surrounding her." Other enchanting places are living close to nature back home in the Midwest: in Mystic Corn she hears music, writing "Sing, sister sweet, in silken tongue the ancient mystery of your stalwart stalk," and in Soybeans, timing is paramount in harvesting or "…rain will burst pods open wide, the gamble lost on farmer's side."
