A young girl dreams of becoming a circus performer and riding pink elephants in a sequined gown. A young boy hopes to use magic, a divining rod, to find his grandfather's trunk of gold buried on their land, so family stories say. But their exotic dreams eventually turn into the simpler life of farmers, though their simple life is never simple. Their many stories are told in poems with achingly and powerfully expressive language in Carolyn Dahl's chapbook, A Muddy Kind of Love. The author truly cares for these people and so will the reader as she pays tribute to their disappearing lifestyles, their hardships and sorrows, and their respectful relationships with animals. Over the years, they come to understand that the land is their real gold. That what they see in their common, everyday work life is as curious, and as beautiful as any staged circus performer's life.A Muddy Kind of Love is the winner of the 2020 Poetry of the Plains & Prairies Award, hosted by North Dakota State University Press.
