About this product
Product Information
Planted by the Signs brings us the contemporary Appalachian poetry of Misty Skaggs. With a knack for pointed personal and social observation, she tells the stories of generations of women who have learned to navigate a harsh world with a little help from the Farmers' Almanac and the stars: women who know how to plant by the signs.

The land of the southern Appalachians presents a forbiddingly stony countenance, but for those unafraid to turn over the rocks, to work the dark earth underneath, to follow the signs of the sky, the creatures of the earth, and the whisperings of th|9780821423813|, "(Skaggs) has a fine ear for rural storytelling tradition, and her language, tales, and recollections thrum with authenticity....Wherever Misty Skaggs's poetry takes her, I want to be there to read it."-- The Rumpus, "She loves what the rest of us would do away with: weeds, peach trees without harvest, lard, the back road, our grandmothers. In Biscuits and Blisters we have the first work of what will surely turn out to be a lifetime of beloved and wrought poetry from Skaggs."--Rebecca Gayle Howell, author of American Purgatory, "Last night I was reading these poems, sitting in a chair in my city living room. As I did, clover sprouted, enfolding my toes, rug turned meadow. Gooseberries draped my shoulders. Thorns pricked my neck. The heat pump blew honeysuckle and tobacco, lilac and pine. A super moon, a woman's face, broke through the window, bidding me to do right. It was weird. I recommend it."--Robert Gipe, author of Weedeater: An Illustrated Novel, These are the poems we need--their surprise, their shine, their fearlessness, their joy, their brazen and unrepetant love of women the world has tried (and failed) to render invisible. If ever there was an example of the political and the pers|9780821423813|, "These poems are 100 percent hillbilly and smart and beautiful. Skaggs writes contemporary Appalachia with the power and grace of a young woman who knows it in her heart and her bones."--Crystal Wilkinson, author of The Birds of Opulence, "The land of the southern Appalachians presents a forbiddingly stony countenance, but for those unafraid to turn over the rocks, to work the dark earth underneath, to follow the signs of the sky, the creatures of the earth, and the whisperings of the heart as they plant their seeds, the results are not only nourishing but filled with powerful beauty. Misty Skaggs is one such poet, and here she shares her bounty."--Ronni Lundy, author of Victuals: An Appalachian Journey with Recipes, "If the reader can embrace even just one-fourth of the gratefulness that this speaker has for the basic pleasures in life, then she will come away from this collection with a deeper sense of contentment and reverence."--Rosemary Royston, Journal of Appalachian Studies, "I love (Skaggs's) reverence for life and the irreverence for the status quo. These are strong poems from a woman who knows what it means to truly bloom where she is planted.... (An) extraordinary collection."--Roberta Schulz, WVXU, Cincinnati NPR, "Skaggs vividly portrays life in the Highland South, impressively moving from the poignant to the wildly amusing and back again. Like an Appalachian Anne Sexton, she bluntly and ironically examines female experience. There's a down-to-earth edginess to many of the poems in this collection that I have rarely seen before in Appalachian poetry."--Jeff Mann, author of Loving Mountains, Loving Men, "These are the poems we need--their surprise, their shine, their fearlessness, their joy, their brazen and unrepetant love of women the world has tried (and failed) to render invisible. If ever there was an example of the political and the personal merging with pure fearlessness and urgency, it's happening in this book by Misty Skaggs. Give yourself over to them. You'll be grateful you did."--Chanel Dubofsky, journalist & activist, Praise for Misty Skaggs "She loves what the rest of us would do away with: weeds, peach trees without harvest, lard, the back road, our grandmothers.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
