What began as an homage to the American painter Miles Cleveland Goodwin became a celebration of the spectral qualities of place and home. The artist's gothic imagery of haints and dark orchards haunts the book, wherein the Shenandoah wends, old farmers toil, and ghosts wander a land where change comes on like a flood. There is no escape from this spilling river, the \"Appalachian sea,\" yet for a while we get by and survive. These poems sing of the temporary persistence that makes what surrounds us beloved and strange.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Scafidi \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the poetry collections \u003ci\u003eSparks from a Nine-Pound Hammer, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eFor Love of Common Words, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Cabinetmaker's Window, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTo the Bramble and the Briar.\u003c\/i\u003e He works as a cabinetmaker and lives with his family in Summit Point, West Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43508754579591,"sku":"9780807184714","price":21.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/fhSnjBP6uK9780807184714.webp?v=1763945710","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/appalachian-sea-poems-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
