Publisher's Synopsis
Written within a time of misfortune, hope, and grief, Tales Of Two Hollows is a compilation of 54 poems and stories that paint a picture of the author's life growing up in the Appalachian mountains of Southeastern Kentucky. It captures the complex, isolating, and downright beautiful themes of getting to grow up not within just one family hollow, but two. These stories take the nostalgia for the beauty of home and fuses it with the pain and frustrations that parallel such a beauty. Enjoy a mix of free verse, haiku, and short stories all in one book compilation! "This is my world, and sure it's gone to pot, but beauty trumps despair and that, this place, has a lot!"
