Shelved: Appalachian Resilience Amid COVID-19

To write or to write the author dilemma of 2020. Certainly life has become stranger than fiction so eleven Appalachian authors gathered their courage and dug deep to present a flowing anthology of fiction nonfiction and poetry inspired by Covid-19 or rewritten during the pandemic. Here reside near-autobiographical tales of hardscrabble mountain education plus familial and societal laments. Even a dragon hides amidst the pages. Its a well-knit often emotional read of reflection eyeing our present and looking ahead. All is not lost. No some things have merely been Shelved.
