Distinctive and highly recommended poetry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
With the inclusion of occasional black-and-white photographic illustrations and featuring a newly reformatted text, "Abiding Appalachia: Where Mountain And Atom Meet" continues to showcase Marilou Awiakta's distinctive and highly recommended poetry which deftly meshes her Cherokee-Appalachian heritage with her experiences growing up in Oak ridge, Tennessee in the newly emerging era of nuclear energy and atomic bombs. `Where Mountain and Atom Meet': Ancient haze lies on the mountain/smoke-blue, strange and still/a presence that eludes the mind and/moves through a deeper kind of knowing./It is nature's breath and more -/an aura from the great I AM/that gathers to its own/spirits that have gone before.//Deep below the valley waters/eerie and hid from view/the atom splits without a sound/its only trace a fine blue glow/rising from the fissioned whole/and at its core/power that commands the will/quiet that strikes the soul./"Be still and know...I AM."
