Piercing the Veil: Appalachian Visions

Piercing the Veil: Appalachian Visions by Greg Clary and Byron Hoot – provides a panorama of place, people, and interpretation through the eyes of Clary and the words of Hoot. Clary and Hoot were born and raised in West Virginia. Both were marked deeply by the physical and emotional landscapes they were born in and have never spiritually left. These are photo ekphrastic poems—photos prompting the poems by capturing the natural art of reality in an instant.

Patricia Thrushart, Author & Poet

Patricia Thrushart, Author & Poet – “I am a writer and poet living in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains just outside of award-winning Cook Forest State Park in the Wilds of Pennsylvania. The beauty of Northern Appalachia and its forests informs my poetry. Beyond my poetry, I write narrative nonfiction books that explore the lives of historical women whose stories have been lost to time.”
