I Thought I Heard A Cardinal Sing

<p><em>I Thought I Heard A Cardinal Sing - Ohio's Appalachian Voices </em>is an anthology focused on the unique culture of Ohio's Appalachian population. A one-of-a-kind collection sponsored by the Academy of American Poets and Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Editor Kari Gunter-Seymour writes: Within these pages you will find a lavish mix of voices-Affrilachian Indigenous non-binary and LGBTQ; from teens to those creatively aging; poets in recovery some with disabilities or developmental differences; emerging and well established; some living in the state others from assorted locations throughout the country-all with a deep connection to Appalachian Ohio. The work speaks honestly and proudly as it represents Ohio's Appalachian population providing examples of honor endurance courage history love of family the land; and provides evidence of how even against the odds our people continue to thrive to work hard to build awareness and overcome mainstream America's negative response to those with a strong Appalachian heritage.</p>
