From Weleetka to Wewoka to Wetumka by Martha Tobin Hoke

From Weleetka to Wewoka to Wetumka

by Martha Tobin Hoke

From 1931 until the birth of her sons in 1936 and 1939, Martha Tobin Hoke lived in a dozen different cities in West Texas, Eastern Colorado, and Kansas. As her husband chased after the lure of ‘black gold’, Martha often found herself alone in some of the dullest and most depressing places on earth. Her escape was through her drawing, sketching, and writing.

In the 47 poems displayed here, the dreams and loves and life of Martha Tobin Hoke leap off the pages and suddenly you are in a dust-filled town in nowheresville Colorado and you become an integral part of her small world and mere existence as she struggles with birth, life, and death and somehow, someway, conquers all three.
