Woodsmoke. Wayne Caldwell

Blair has built a considerable list of Appalachian voices, and when Wayne Caldwell submitted this gorgeous collection, his lines were read aloud in our editorial office—and the full staff fell in love with these poems that so beautifully employ the musical language of Appalachia. This work will appeal to those in Appalachia, the Southeast, and others who admire the work of Ron Rash, Kathryn Stripling Byer, and James Still.
