This Invisible Beauty is a series of poems about the life of writer Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Rawlings moved to the hamlet of Cross Creek, Florida, in 1928. She and her husband bought a farmhouse in the middle of a seventy-four-acre citrus orchard. They planned to simplify their lives, earning an income from the sale of citrus, while Marjorie continued her writing career. She fell in love with the pine scrub country and with the “Crackers” who inhabited it. At Cross Creek she found her voice. The years between her arrival and the publication of The Yearling in 1938 were some of the happiest and most productive of her life.
