About Still
 |
About our name . . . To be a writer is to learn how to be still. The moonshine still is one of the stereotypical images of Appalachia. As a culture, Appalachia has been told for decades that it is disappearing. We are still here, proud and strong as ever. James Still, author of River of Earth, The Wolfpen Poems, and many other great works, is the grandfather of modern Appalachian literature and has inspired us all. |
