Holy Days<br />
by Sally Nemeth<br />
Holy Days concerns a Kansas family in <strong>the</strong> 1930s trying <strong>to</strong><br />
survive what is now known as <strong>the</strong> 'Black Blizzards'. This s<strong>to</strong>ry<br />
of two farmer bro<strong>the</strong>rs and <strong>the</strong>ir wives struggling <strong>to</strong> make it<br />
through <strong>the</strong> drought and winds that hit <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn Great<br />
Plains, blowing away as much wit<strong>here</strong>d hope as dried-out <strong>to</strong>psoil.<br />
Living in close proximity, <strong>the</strong>y engage with each o<strong>the</strong>r with a<br />
humanity that we almost can't bear <strong>to</strong> watch, yet can certainly all<br />
admire. Holy Days is a s<strong>to</strong>ry of perseverance, a poem with community,<br />
sacrifice, endurance, and hope at its core.<br />
