Query: A Female Southern Poet of note

Martha McFerren's poetry, while on the prosy side, is narrative genius. Her incisive and, at times, biting insights into human nature, Southern existence, life as a woman, and a writer's plight are thought-provoking and hilarious by turns. I laughed aloud during "Southern Gothic" and "Weird Doctors", and "Dog Suicide" is a mantra for all struggling non-sentimentalists. Every poem in this book, in fact, is a gem. McFerren's work is worthy of much wider circulation.
