Since the beginning of her writing career in 1973, Nelms' poetry has been published over 1000 times. Even a partial list of where her work has appeared will give a glimmer of the almost universal appeal of her poetry. This hard-working poet has enjoyed wide-spread acceptance of her work because she writes fresh, well-crafted poems that recall experiences common to millions of heartland Americans. In Bluebonnets, Boots and Buffalo Bones, Nelms gathers poetry old and new that brings the Texas experience into focus for local readers or visitors to the Lone Star state.
