Collected here are poems by one of Georgia's most intriguing and talented poets of the twentieth century. Byron Herbert Reece was born in Union County, Georgia, in 1917 and authored four volumes of poems and two novels during his short lifetime. Until now, many of his poems, originally published in the 1940s and 1950s, have been out of print. Reece, who faithfully assumed responsibility for his family's farm when his parents became ill, was never a poet of the academic ivory tower. Indeed, he rebelled against the rising New Criticism associated with the Vanderbilt Fugitives, the elite of southern poetry at that time.

Reece's work reflects both the devastating impact of his parents' death from tuberculosis and his own affliction with the disease, which caused him to distance himself from others: "A solitary thing am I / Upon the roads of rust and flame / That thin at sunset to the air." Reece was also preoccupied with his ambivalence toward the farm, which sustained his solitude yet took time away from his writing: "In the far, dark woods go roving / And find there to match your mood / A kindred spirit moving / Where the wild winds blow in the wood." Reece's poetry is resonant and contemplative, and Jim Clark has included here works that speak for the true grace of Reece's talent. In addition, Clark's attentive introduction should bring increased interest to this notable southern poet.

Worth it for small dogs
Style: Monkey Shape, Style: Monkey Shape
Quality is good and durable. I have a dachshund and he hasn’t ripped the squeaker out yet! The squeak is a higher pitch noise. My dog loves it. It’s nice it doubles as a tug of rope toy and a stuffy. It matched description and pictures. With all that being said if you have a bigger dog it probably won’t last long.

Sturdy Quality
Style: Cake Shape, Style: Cake Shape
These toys were perfect for my dog’s 4th birthday. You get three toys for a really reasonable price, and the quality is actually really good. He loved them right away, especially the cake toy — it makes a great crinkle sound that he can’t get enough of. They were also perfect for birthday photos. Overall, a really cute set and definitely worth it.

If your dog pops with his canines and shreds with his front teeth, this is for you. I have nothing but praise for this toy.
Size: One Size, Style: Bumpy Ball
This is one of the few balls I have purchased that my dog does not destroy. I am surprised at the negative reviews here and have been doing some thinking about why one dog destroys this ball and another does not. Perhaps it is the type of chewer we own? Or because he has a narrow jaw rather than a broad one like a pit bull? My Airedale Terrier likes to shred, preferring to use his back teeth to pop or crush and front teeth to pull apart tennis balls, stuffed animals and the like. I don't know if that will help anyone in making the decision to buy or not to buy this toy. The ball has many dimples where my dog's teeth have sunk in but he has yet to take a chunk out of it. I bought two of these from Marshall's three or four months ago and I play with my dog twice a day, so lots of use here. After I realized what I'd found I promptly ordered two more from Amazon because I wanted to insure I would have them around for a long time. All I can say is that this toy has been a lifesaver for me. My extremely active one year old Airedale Terrier needs a lot of exercise and this ball satisfied that need for us. It is fun for him and I giggle at his antics as he attempts to follow the unpredictable path of the bumble ball. I throw the ball for him from my porch, trying to toss it so it goes over our truck, which my husband leaves in the driveway. If the ball hits the truck, no harm done and more unpredictable for my boy! I can toss the ball around the house without worrying it will break a window. My dog loves to pick up toys and throw them in the air when he plays. He tossed a marrow bone into the air and when it landed I had a nice half inch gash in our coffee table. No more marrow bones in the house for him. I have nothing but praise for this toy and am grateful to have found it.

Great Toy
Size: One Size, Style: Stick
I breed German shepherds. This toy is a soft formed stick made of a memory foam/ rubber polymer. It’s light weight, very durable, floats and my German Shepherds love retrieving this toy. They are not indestructible but they are a great chewing toy for their price. I usually buy several at a time. This toy will help clean their teeth and is soft enough not to damage their teeth. It’s a favorite item for my dogs.
