<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A collection of haunting lyricism that evokes the beauty and hardship of the rural South, by a revered American master of letters--the award-winning, bestselling author of the novels <em>Serena, Something Rich and Strange</em>, and <em>Above the Waterfall.</em></p><p>In this incandescent, profound, and accessible collection, beloved and award-winning poet, novelist, and short-story writer Ron Rash vividly channels the rhythms of life in Appalachia, deftly capturing the panoply of individuals who are its heart and soul--men and women inured to misfortune and hard times yet defined by tremendous fortitude, resilience, and a fierce sense of community.</p><p>In precise, supple language that swerves from the stark to the luminous, Rash richly describes the splendor of the natural landscape and poignantly renders the lives of those dependent on its bounty--in cotton mills and tobacco fields, farmlands and forests. The haunting memories and shared histories of these people--their rituals and traditions--animate this land, and are celebrated in Rash's crystalline, intensely imagined verse.</p><p>With an eye for the surprising and vivid detail, Ron Rash powerfully captures the sorrows and exaltations of this wondrous world he knows intimately. Illuminating and indelible, <em>Poems</em> demonstrates his rich talents and confirms his legacy as a standard-bearer for the literature of the American South.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>In this incandescent and profound collection, beloved and award-winning poet, novelist, and short-story writer Ron Rash channels the rhythms of life in Appalachia, deftly capturing the panoply of individuals who are its heart. </p><p>With an eye for the surprising and vibrant detail, Rash powerfully captures the sorrows of this wondrous world he knows intimately.
