I want to be described looming in the past like one of Amy Le Ann RichardsonâÇÖs trees, to be seen gathering myself across white space like her rocks, to be felt in ink spilling over banks like her creeks. Richardson digs deep into the soil of her Kentucky, of her Appalachia, and beating through generations of pain and love and mud is a heart forged in dirt.'-Willie Edward Taylor Carver, Jr. author ofáGay Poems for Red States'From her beloved Carter County, Kentucky, Amy Le Ann Richardson builds a shrine of words to the natural world. Fueled by a love of the outdoors, the poet observes and records her surroundings with a keen expertise of natural disasters, climate failures, and the âÇÖlungs of earth gasping.âÇÖ Yet she never despairs, balancing catastrophe with contemplation and abolishing fear with veneration of âÇÖthese small wondersâÇÖ in her firmly-rooted place.'-Marianne Worthington author ofáThe Girl Singer
