"A comprehensive and unsurpassed anthology of women writers from Appalachia . . . Exceptional in diversity and scope." —Southern Historian
Listen Here: Women Writing in Appalachia is a landmark anthology that brings together the work of 105 Appalachian women writers, including Dorothy Allison, Harriette Simpson Arnow, Annie Dillard, Nikki Giovanni, Denise Giardina, Barbara Kingsolver, Jayne Anne Phillips, Janice Holt Giles, George Ella Lyon, Sharyn McCrumb, and Lee Smith. Editors Sandra L. Ballard and Patricia L. Hudson offer a diverse sampling of time periods and genres, established authors and emerging voices. From regional favorites to national bestsellers, this unprecedented gathering of Appalachian voices displays the remarkable talent of the region's women writers who've made their mark at home and across the globe.
"A giant step forward in Appalachian studies for both students and scholars of the region and the general reader . . . Nothing less than a groundbreaking and landmark addition to the national treasury of American literature." —Bloomsbury Review
"A remarkable accomplishment, bringing together the work of 105 female Appalachian writers saying what they want to, and saying it in impressive bodies of literature." —Lexington Herald-Leader
"One of the keenest pleasures in Listen Here lies in its diversity of voices and genres." —Material Culture
"Besides introducing readers to many new voices, the anthology provides a strong counterpart to the stereotype of hillbillies that have cursed the region." —Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Full of welcome surprises to those new to this regional literature: specifically, it includes particularly strong selections from children's fiction and a substantial number of African American writers." —Choice
