In all, this collection is a perfect introduction to the author's work, and to the natural poetry genre as it stood in the early 20th century. Flint's personal struggles - nursing her sick mother until she died, and then experiencing illness herself - gave her an immense understanding of misfortune; Annie appreciated simple things, such as the world around us, more than most.
