Alone in the House of My Heart
Poems
We reckon that nine generations in Appalachia is long enough for a place to get in the bones of a family, and that kinheritance has marked Kari Gunter-Seymour with an intuitive feel for one of America’s most isolated and peculiar regions. The current Poet Laureate of Ohio and the author of A Place So Deep Inside America It Can’t Be Seen, her work has appeared in the New York Times, One, Rattle, and New Ohio Review.
