Light at the Seam, a new collection from North Carolina poet Joseph
Bathanti, is an exploration of mountaintop removal in southern
Appalachian coal country. The volume illuminates and champions
often invisible people residing, in a precarious moment in time, on
the glorious, yet besieged, Appalachian earth. Their call to defend
it, as well as their faith that the land will exact its own
reckoning, constitutes a sacred as well as existential quest.
Rooted in social and restorative justice, Light at the Seam
contemplates the earth as fundamentally sacramental, a crucible of
awe and mystery, able to regenerate itself and its people even as
it succumbs to them. More than mere cautionary tale, this is a
volume of hope and wonder.
