Authors Anita Sutherland Gardner and James Gardner’s New Book, "Beyond the Black Gate Vol. II," is a Collection of Poems Detailing Their Shared Love and Life

New York, NY, June 19, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Anita Sutherland Gardner and James Gardner, who retired in 2008 to the family homestead in the foothills of the Ozarks in Arkansas, have completed their new book, “Beyond the Black Gate Vol. II”: a collection of poems and short essays that serve as a tender tribute to the joys, challenges, and love shared between the authors.

Shortly after Jim and Anita married, they moved to a small thirty-acre primitive plot in Parke County, Indiana, known as the Covered Bridge Capital of America. To gain entrance to this property, you had to pass through the only structure on the property, a black wooded farm gate. It was beyond this black gate that Jim and Anita started their journey in life.

This journey was like many other folks, experiences filled with hopes, dreams, and abounding love to accomplish through hard work, the challenges that life gives you to deal with. Their life beyond the gate became a happy and fruitful life with many happy memories. It also gave Anita the inspiration to write a manuscript “Beyond the Black Gate.” In 2008, Jim and Anita retired to Cleburne County, Arkansas, on the family farm. Anita’s roots beyond the black gate went with them.

Jim shares, “After many years as Anita and I finished our labor of love, developing our little farm into a paradise, to us anyhow, we had an Amish neighbor, Amos King, to build a gate of steel, which was mounted by the old wood black gate. This new black gate came with us to Cleburne County, Arkansas, as a moment and continuation action of our lives beyond the black gate. New dreams and developments were continued on this old Sutherland and fam until Anita went to rest.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Anita Sutherland Gardner and James Gardner’s emotionally stirring series captures the essence of their life beyond the black gate, illuminating the beauty and complexity of their shared experiences. Providing readers with a window into the Gardners' world, “Beyond the Black Gate Vol. II” is a testament to the enduring love shared by Anita and James Gardner, as well as their unwavering commitment to preserving the memories that have shaped their lives.
