Taggard Publishes A Part of Vermont
Poet involved
What happened
In 1945, Genevieve Taggard published A Part of Vermont with The River Press in East Jamaica, Vermont, a slim volume celebrating the rural life and landscape of her adopted home. The poems reflect her deep affection for the Green Mountains and the quiet rhythms of farm life, offering a pastoral counterpoint to her earlier urban and political works.
Literary impact
This collection marks a return to the nature lyricism of her early Hawaiian poems, now filtered through the lens of New England's rugged terrain. The Vermont poems reveal a poet finding peace and renewal in the natural world, and they serve as a testament to the restorative power of place, a theme that would resonate in her final volume.
