Ideas Revisited

I recently attended a poetry performance for my class TE 491. The featured poet of the night was Diane Gilliam. She read from her most recent anthology, Kettle Bottom. This was a collection of poems referencing postcolonial Appalachian culture. I found it interesting, and it particularly made me think back to the beginning of our class when we read and wrote our own autobiographical poems. One poem you displayed for us to mimic was a poem wrote about/by Appalachian culture. It was great to see this idea and stance revisited outside of our classroom.
