In Jill McKeown's debut book of poetry, the title itself foreshadows the nostalgia within. "Whispering Brooks" is named after the street she grew up on, where a creek ran through the back of the neighborhood. Inside, McKeown tells her story growing up in the heart of Kentucky, with poems of innocence, growing, nature, love, loss, healing, becoming... A story that she hopes readers will find timeless and universal.
