The Anthology of Appalachian Writers: Barbara Kingsolver Vol. XV

Picture
This work centers on the work of Barbara Kingsolver, Shepherd University’s 2022 Appalachian Heritage Writer-in-Residence. Kingsolver was at Shepherd for the Appalachian Heritage Festival in September 2022 and worked with the editors on the completion of the book.

Leah Rampy’s creative non-fiction essay, “In Search of Kinship,” probes our longing for connection to kith and kin and asks, “If our family belongs to generations of wanderers, can we possibly be indigenous to the place we find ourselves?”
