North/South Appalachia: Poetry and Art

I just learned that three of my poems were selected for North/South Appalachia’s anthology, Poetry and Art, Volume 2. The concept is to hear from the varied and diverse voices within Appalachia’s long and borders that extend from the southern part of New York State to the northern portions of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.

“The richness of Appalachian culture, especially iits literature, is often misunderstood when it is considered at all. The poets of this collection, which spans the breadth of the complex and deeply diverse region known as Appalachia, paint vivid portraits of real lives lived in hill and dale, valley and holler, city street and urban neighborhood. Familiar and new voices sing together to celebrate the ongoing story of the Appalachian Renaissance.”
