His first full-length collection of poetry blends his Appalachian upbringing with his ongoing relation to the natural world. Poems of praise for community and the collective appear alongside others tinged with nostalgia and grief when House keenly observes the loss of rural America as he once knew it. Returning to his touchstone subjects, Silas recalls wild places, echoes stories from a lingering and living past, and explores an abiding connection to family, friends, and fellow artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSilas House \u003c\/b\u003eis the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of eight novels: \u003ci\u003eClay's Quilt\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Parchment of Leaves\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Coal Tattoo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEli the Good\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSame Sun Here\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSouthernmost\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLark Ascending\u003c\/i\u003e.
