About this book
Deeply rooted in respect and compassion for Appalachia and its people, these poems are both paeans to and dirges for past and present family, farmlands, factories, and coal.
Kari Gunter-Seymour's second full-length collection resounds with candid, lyrical poems about Appalachia's social and geographical afflictions and affirmations. History, culture, and community shape the physical and personal landscapes of Gunter-Seymour's native southeastern Ohio soil, scarred by Big Coal and fracking, while food insecurity and Big Pharma leave their marks on the region's people. A musicality of language swaddles each poem in hope and a determination to endure. Alone in the House of My Heart offers what only art can: a series of thought-provoking images that evoke such a clear sense of place that it's familiar to anyone, regardless of where they call home.
