. . . Live Readings! . . . Come join our editors Delonda Anderson and Edward Francisco on Thursday, October 1, at 12:00 p.m. in the Goins Auditorium of Pellissippi State Community College's Hardin Valley Campus, Knoxville, Tennessee . . . We'll be reading works from our book Appalachia Bare . . . (Some of the proceeds from the book Appalachia Bare will go toward maintaining and operating our online magazine.) . . . Edward will also read from his latest novel, Red Summer, a poignant work of historical fiction that tells the story of race, justice, violence, and the human cost of cruelty in a divided nation in 1919 . . . Hear our own voices as we read these stories!

“Once in a while, as she sat there, a whippoorwill would call under the window, an owl would hoot from down in the pasture, or out in the woods there would be the quavery little cry of a screech owl, and these were her favorite sounds. They bespoke the mystery of the night, not sweetly but hauntingly, half savagely, the way it was. Ah, the way it was even among humans . . . ”
Wilma Dykeman, The Tall Woman

The Weight of Time at Fourteen

When it rained hard, I’d huddle in the chair
pull my legs up against the mist, grieve
as the water mourned over eaves, endure the slap

sound on the beaten earth below
as the distant creek . . .
