At First Averse and Then Another W Thomas McQueeney

This collection combines the artwork of the late Charleston Renaissance artist Charlotte Simmons McQueeney with the verse renderings of her son, W. Thomas McQueeney. The artwork is shown in tonal shades to illustrate a wide influence of Carolina Lowcountry culture. Mediums include pen and ink, oil, pastel, acrylic and the artist's favorite media, watercolor. The literary offerings number 121 submissions, mostly filled with satirical musings mindful of the humorists e.e. cummings, Ogden Nash, or Shel Silverstein. Included are other cerebral compositions in the classical genre mindful of writers such as William Butler Yeats or Rod McKuen. This volume is sure to bring a smile and warm the heart.
