    The 1:00 o'clock to Affrilachia

    If you have not visited kentucky then take a ride aboard the Affrilachia. I was moved by the words which Mr. Walker carved out of the pages of this fantastic book.

    Unique Poet, Universal Poems

    Frank Walker combines a childhood in Appalachia with his African-American heritage to weave poetic tales that everyone can relate to in some way. He writes of love, life, death, AIDs, and of course, basketball (he *is* from Kentucky). Mr. Walker's poems hit home with this reader. I, too, am a writer from rural Appalachia. But while his poems rang true for me because I am from the same area, the experiences held within the poems will ring true for everyone.
