Book excerpt: An enchanting, haunting collection of stories by Crystal Wilkinson, a self-described Black, country girl and poet from rural Kentucky. The stories explore the joys and pain of the women of "Affrilachia", and will touch the reader profoundly. "I grew up on a farm in Indian Creek, Kentucky during the seventies. I swam in creeks and roamed the knobs and hills. We had an outhouse and no inside running water. Our house was heated by coal and wood-burning stoves and we lived so far back in the woods that we could get only one television station. But it was a place of beauty - trees, green grass and blue sky as far as you could see. I am country. Being country is as much a part of me as my full lips, wide hips, dreadlocks and high cheek bones. There are many Black country folks who have lived and are living in small towns, up hollers and across knobs. They are all over the South--scattered like milk thistle seeds in the wind. The stories in this book are centered in these places." - CRYSTAL E. WILKINSON

Book Synopsis Sugar the Blackberries by : Joan Peck Arnold

Download or read book Sugar the Blackberries written by Joan Peck Arnold. This book was released on 2021. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Joan Peck Arnold began writing poetry in her sixties to work through the challenges of later life, in the process arriving at a way of healing and a fresh perspective on the everyday. In these poems, she looks frankly at difficult things-grief and loss, fear and illness, life's seasons and storms-to locate hope or make peace with what has come and gone. She shows us how to find solace and connection in an object, a memory, or a moment, in our senses, and in the poignant details of ordinary life. What do we leave behind? What endures? How do we let go? A beautiful and accessible meditation on time, nature, and art, drawing inspiration from ghosts to Van Gogh, Sugar the Blackberries is a resonant collection for poetry enthusiasts and newcomers alike that holds lessons about love and survival for us all, no matter our age"--

Book excerpt: Crystal Wilkinson's book, Blackberries, Blackberries, and meeting hr when she attended MSU faculty orientation in 2006, inspired me to share her book through the visual arts. When I read the book, it demonstrated the lives of Black men, women and children in Appalachia, Ky. These short stories enlighten the community through vignettes, showing diversity among Black families and relationships in eastern Kentucky, the region and the state. This artistic freedom exposes the richness that abounds in Applachia and in Black family life, allowing individuals to realize thre is more to life in Kentucky than horses, tobacco, bourbon and UK basketball. Differences in political views, urban Appalachian experiences and spirituality are also evident throughout this artistic expression of Black family life in rural Kentucky.

Book Synopsis Blackberry Wine by : Joanne Harris

Download or read book Blackberry Wine written by Joanne Harris. This book was released on 2010-12-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Chocolat, an intoxicating fairy tale of alchemy and love where wine is the magic elixir. Jay Mackintosh is a 37-year-old has-been writer from London. Fourteen years have passed since his first novel, Jackapple Joe, won the Prix Goncourt. His only happiness comes from dreaming about the golden summers of his boyhood that he spent in the company of an eccentric vintner who was the inspiration of Jay's debut novel, but who one day mysteriously vanished. Under the strange effects of a bottle of Joe's '75 Special, Jay decides to purchase a derelict yet promising château in Lansquenet-sous-Tannes. There, a ghost from his past waits to confront him, and his new neighbour, the reclusive Marise - haunted, lovely and dangerous - hides a terrible secret behind her closed shutters. Between them, there seems to be a mysterious chemistry. Or could it be magic? Joanne Harris's previous novel, Chocolat, was both a dazzling literary success and a commercial triumph. Chocolat, the major motion picture directed by Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules), was released in December 2000, starring Juliette Binoche, Johnny Depp, Dame Judy Dench, Alfred Molina, and Lena Olin.
