Quarried: Three Decades of Pine Mountain Sand & Gravel  

A reading from the anthology of contemporary Appalachian literature, Quarried: Three Decades of Pine Mountain Sand & Gravel. A project of the Southern Appalachian Writers Cooperative, Pine Mountain Sand & Gravel has given voice to a wide range of Appalachian writers since the mid-1980s. Quarried is a collection of poetry, fiction and nonfiction spanning more than thirty years of literature from Appalachia's 13-state sprawl. Readers include Owen Cramer, Omope Carter Daboiku, Cathy Lentes, Mary Bach Loreaux, Heather Marshall and Roberta Schultz, and editors Richard Hague and Pauletta Hansel. Join us for a lively and enlivening reading and conversation about the history and future of this literary journal with grit.
