Hillbilly Guilt

Hillbilly Guilt is populated with those whose lives aren't deemed important:

the poor and working poor of Appalachia, who live what it is to be American.

This is a book that seeks to show that we are the sum of our mistakes. Not just

the little goofs, either; but the huge, world-shattering blunders that go to the core

of what it is to be human. The title poem "Hillbilly Guilt"-the frontispiece and

forward to the book as a whole-asserts moments of resilience if not Triumph,

the chance to heal...
