From the Southern Appalachians, down streams that become rivers traversing one billion years of geology and thousands of years of human life, over fields soaked in history and meaning, to the sea: community builder and artist Scott Neely guides us on a journey across land and time in search of a way we can live, so we can live. These poems, in word and image, offer beauty of place and love and show how the challenges we face can make us more human and alive.
