Abiding Appalachia
After reading all three genres, fiction, non-fiction, and poetry I finally have a sense of the most preferred personally. Parable of the Sower has been my favorite, although I enjoyed reading the actual life of Kristen Iversen, the scientific interruptions made it difficult to get through the book. Poetry is often confusing for me, but I have always found it delightful to the ear and interesting. Abiding Appalachia is pleasing because it has a sense of story to it, and that is captivating when it is written in the form of poems yet it still flows. All three books have similar themes in purpose and meaning. Full Body Burden and Abiding Appalachia seemed to have the most connections in it, with the descriptions of childhood through adulthood and the experience of having children and teaching them about what life used to be like. However, all three books definitely have similarities.
