| Publisher Description: In this wide-ranging, multigenre compilation, fourteen poets, writers, artists, and photographers explore the richness and complication that infuses Arkansas with its character. Untold Arkansas: An Anthology ventures into a boxing ring in the Delta, investigates roadside histories, calls forth unspoken messages that shape identity, reveals hidden lives on downtown streets and behind bathroom doors, and offers intimate portraits of everyday Arkansans. By exploring the dualities of place and our attachments to it, it highlights and holds the tension between surviving and thriving in The Natural State, considering not only how people make do in a land of both opportunity and deprivation, but how our interaction with place marks and transforms us as we grapple with its mysteries. |
