This world is still the only one we have. V.C. Myers understands that humanity’s confidence will be its downfall, but that doesn’t stop the poems in this book from celebrating all the wonder we’ve yet to lose. In reverant elegy, these pages exalt a dying planet casting its last coins to the well.

"Myers’ poems are timely in their depiction of Appalachia’s environmental devastation, and she writes movingly about hard times, past and present, of the region’s inhabitants, but she also shows us beauty too, not only in her evocations of nature but, even more impressively, in the beauty of her language."
-Ron Rash, Poet and Author of 2009 PEN/Faulkner finalist and New York Times bestseller Serena and Above the Waterfall
