David Thompson 
Odes About Appalachian Life 

The poems and stories attempt to raise concerns about the effects of what is within ones world and what is happening outside of ones world. Some of the situations are personal, some are from what others may have experienced and witnessed to, and some are imaginary. The purpose of the book is to help motivate one to consider ones inward-outward world.
