All of us were refugees of the nuclear family

Awista Ayub was born in Kabul

his experience and his choices

Light at the Seam: Poems Richard Crasta @annecleelandLight at the Seam, a new collection from North Carolina poet Joseph Bathanti, is an exploration of mountaintop removal in southern Appalachian coal country. The volume illuminates and champions often invisible people residing, in a precarious moment in time, on the glorious, yet besieged, Appalachian earth. Their call to defend it, as well as their faith that the land will exact its own reckoning, constitutes a sacred as well as existential quest.
