Appalachian chains of life and love: Poetic musing
(Chains are connecting links that both unite and divide or...)
Chains are connecting links that both unite and divide or protect and confine,often at the same time. The Appalachian chain of mountains has physically and socially done much the same. The hills and valleys have protected and sometimes restrained their people. Born in Appalachia, my family has been associated with the glass industry rather than coal. Therefore, Appalachia is not all mine shafts, floods and disaster -- at least not to me. Having lived and studied in several places across the country, I have found no greater latitude for the zest of living, loving or losing, than within the dignity and innate sophistication of Appalachians. These poems were written while living in the area and about such folk. David E. Tarr, author. Paperback. 80 pages.
