Poetry

Affrilachia

By Frank X Walker

About this book

Frank X Walker’s poems bring Black Appalachian lives into the language used to describe the region. They turn to family, place, work, and memory to show what disappears when Appalachia is imagined too narrowly. The collection offers readers a way to think about how naming a place can change who is understood to belong there.
