The Vandalia In Me: A Photo-Poetry Collection from Appalachia - Paperback
by Greg Clary (Author)
The Vandalia in Me is a collection of poems and photographs from an author who has lived in Appalachia for his entire life. First on his family's homestead in southern West Virginia, then for the past 40 years in the northwestern Pennsylvania Wilds.
These poems and photographs are rooted in the author's personal experiences and observations of the Appalachia he loves and the people and events he has encountered along the way.
These images and words share the common theme of seeking beauty among the ordinary and infusing them with respect and significance.
"Clary is the Whitman of West Virginia, honoring the laborers, the precious encounters, the deeper wisdoms. He understands intimately that life itself is poetry."
Philip Terman, author of My Blossoming Everything and This Crazy
"I've never seen poor and working-class folks and the places they go to save themselves photographed with such honesty. The shots of even the most rundown bars are filled with the brightness of dreams and possibility. I've never seen anyone photograph an American flag...with more meaning and compassion."
Dave Newman, author of She Throws Herself Forward to Stop the Fall and East Pittsburgh Down Low
