Bloodroot and Coal Dust

Bloodroot & Coal Dust  is a collection of poems that reach into the heart of Appalachia-a place defined by its rugged mountains, coal-streaked landscapes, and the people who live and breathe its history. This book doesn't offer easy answers or pretty pictures. Instead, it holds up a mirror to the reality of a region shaped by hard work, family struggles, and the lasting marks of coal dust on skin and soul. These poems explore the everyday grit and quiet resilience of Appalachian life. T
