- Synopsis
- Steve Scafidi’s The Appalachian Sea explores the eponymous place of mountains and story, of rivers and magic, as well as of mortality, where people work and live and die. What began as an homage to the American painter Miles Cleveland Goodwin became a celebration of the spectral qualities of place and home. The artist’s gothic imagery of haints and dark orchards haunts the book, wherein the Shenandoah wends, old farmers toil, and ghosts wander a land where change comes on like a flood. There is no escape from this spilling river, the “Appalachian sea,” yet for a while we get by and survive. These poems sing of the temporary persistence that makes what surrounds us beloved and strange.
