Abiding Appalachia Kasey Gould

                I am not a huge fan of poetry, probably because any meaning I interpret from the poem is usually not even close to being correct. I read most of Abiding Appalachia and thought it was decent though. One poem I enjoyed in particular was “Patchwork”. Awikata says, “It takes more than saying to make love so. It takes being and doing as stitch by stitch love makes a pattern that endures” (25). I enjoyed reading this poem because I feel like I couldn’t interpret it wrong.
