The perfect way to begin to understand the wonder of nature is by getting acquainted with local flora and fauna.

A Literary Field Guide to Southern Appalachia showcases sixty species indigenous to the region, blending literary and natural history in a unique anthology.
Southern Appalachia, rich in paradox and stereotype-defying complexity, is ecologically, culturally, and artistically diverse. From iconic species like the speckled trout, pileated woodpecker, copperhead, and black bear to the elusive and endangered American chestnut, Carolina gorge moss, chucky madtom, and lampshade spider, the region boasts a wide range of wildlife. The anthology merges art and science to provide a comprehensive look at this ecological wealth.
Stunning images from seven Southern Appalachian artists accompany conversational natural history information in the anthology, complementing contemporary poems by renowned writers such as Ellen Bryant Voigt, Wendell Berry, Janisse Ray, Sean Hill, Rebecca Gayle Howell, Deborah A. Miranda, Ron Rash, and Mary Oliver. Through their words and images, the guide illuminates the wonders of the mountain South, fostering intimate connections and inviting readers to explore Appalachia in all its poetic glory.
