Reseña del editor:
Soul Hill Lullabies, a poem cycle by Stephanie Mesler, tells the story of life on and around Alma Hill, New York. The Hill, as locals call it is located on the southernmost edge of Allegany County, where the mountains of western New York meld with those of Pennsylvania. Nestled beside the Adirondacks and Catskills at the edge of Appalachia, Alma Hill is taller than Lookout Mountain in Tennessee but more modest. The Hill has been home to the poet’s people for much of the last two and a half centuries. Both of her parents grew up on or in the shadow of Alma Hill. Soul Hill Lullabies reminds us that family is tied to land, even in generations far removed, and that land is bound to time, which never ends.
