Childhood experiences growing up leaves an indelible print on your soul.
How much has to be lost or taken before it stops being home?
Coal mines and disasters,
Simple lives and laughter.
A miner’s daughter remembers
A different time in rhyme.
Jaimee Nix is a coal miner’s daughter from Seaham, County Durham. She is a retired teacher of engineering and product design, living in the South East of England. A gifted acapella singer and poet who uses her talents to share the history of the North East and her observations of life in general.
Her poems and songs are performed at folk clubs and acoustic music venues and are enthusiastically received.
Not being from up north I did not appreciate the hardships the miners and their families went through. But along with the hardships there was fun and joy. This book is a really good example of a peek into their lives. A good coffee table book.
Jaimee reminds us of how hard people worked back then! Lament for my home town will show youngsters and people of all ages the true life of miners. Fantastic book of poetry!! I really enjoyed it and look forward to Jaimee’s videos on You Tube .
Enjoyed reading the poems reflecting our past history of mining life,
I had the pleasure of hearing Jaimee read some of her poems. She brought her childhood to life. I am thoroughly enjoying this book of poems and they really bring to life the history of the north east
Great book full of history of hard working people in dangerous and difficult times. We should keep history alive and these poems reflect the times.
