These are poems grounded in place; it is therefore essential to recognize that southern Appalachia as we know it today was built on stolen land.
Both literary and accessible, rootlines is a collection about place, risk, and grief - about the roots we grow from and the branches we reach with.
Day\'s lyrical and impassioned voice invites readers into the solace of these conversations.
The collection blurs the lines between the human and non-human world, colonial perceptions of "nature," and pays testimony to the Appalachian mountains that have long been abused by the fossil fuel industry.
