“The women congregated in the kitchen or, in warm weather, sat in rocking chairs on the shady porches. The few men present squatted and talked in the yard or sat on a porch on the opposite side of the house.”
Joyce Dyer, Bloodroot: Reflections on Place by Appalachian Women Writers

“I am out listening for the words, for the breath of my ancestors”
Joyce Dyer, Bloodroot: Reflections on Place by Appalachian Women Writers
