The voice of Southern Appalachia is often heard from the outside world as a single song Ñone melody, one point of view. However, The PoetÕs Parallelogram, a collective of writers who gather weekly at the Dream Bean Coffee Shop in Princeton, West Virginia, offers a richer, more layered harmony.
Within these pages, youÕll find beauty and bitterness, hope and hardshipÑwoven together in poems that sing from every corner of experience. These writers prove that the sound of Appalachia cannot be reduced to one tune. Their shared geography shapes them, but their voices soar far beyond it, each note distinct yet connected.
Open up, and you will leave humming the tune of life itself., poetry, appalachia, west virginia, anthology, Lee Kuiper| | 78PAGES
