Summary:
"Wilma Elizabeth McDaniel's poems are the product of not only the years during the Depression, but the winds which swept the Southwest and formed the Dustbowl of Oklahoma which drove hundreds of starving people out of their home country. Her poems reflect her part Creek Indian ancestry, her toils as a migrant worker in California and her excruciating sensitivity to her fellow travelers and friends"--From back cover.
