| Abstract | "The poems in Had I a Dove have a wonderful range: dire, elegiac, eulogistic, solemn, guardedly hopeful, and rooted lovingly, proudly, in the Appalachian earth ... Some invoke other floods that have ravaged Appalachia over the years. Make no mistake, however: While this marvelous anthology grieves, as well it should, and necessarily tackles the trauma Helene wrought (it remains with us--physically, psychically, spiritually--though the spell of spring and soon summer, has cloaked much of the carnage), it is not a catalogue of despair. It is not a requiem ... [it] is rife with resilience, regeneration, vigilance, [and] awe" -- from the Preface. |
