“Cries of coyotes, the croak of frogs and chirping of crickets exemplify the concertos of the Smoky Mountains. I appreciate the age-worn rocks’ accommodating a waterfall’s endless challenge. I hear gospel songs, and I can see myself clogging to great blue grass harmonies.”
Linda Dickert’s collection of poetry and prose celebrates life in the Great Smoky Mountains.
Her short essays, conversations, and inspirations draw from the happenings in the mountains of North Carolina,
sharing with readers the spirit of the Appalachians and instilling an appreciation for the natural world and our responsibility to protect and cherish it. Dickert gives readers an opportunity to reflect on their own environment and connection with nature.
All proceeds from this book will go to Spark Companions, a non-profit organization that helps individuals unable to pay for vet bills.
