Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features. At its core, this collection of poems is an honest, down-to-earth love letter to Appalachia — celebrating its people, culture, beauty, and lore. It’s a bit reverent, a touch irreverent, at times strange, and completely authentic. These poems offer a glimpse into today’s Appalachia from the perspective of a young Appalachian who adores the area for what it is. Each piece captures a unique moment that can only be found in this area — from the glory of nature to the allure of bluegrass, to the invasive touch of progress that seeks to change the culture and its people. Together, this collection also serves as a hymn book that praises and exalts the glory of the Appalachian Mountains and her people.
