Mortals Remain

... Her name, the letters chipped and weathered here and there, evokes an image: she is kneeling dapple tasseled hair sun sheened smiling warmly busied by sowing faithfully planting in her time and place of perfection. --C.S. Lang In his first collection of poetry, Appalachian poet C.S. Lang intertwines homespun emotions with twenty-first century reality as he lyrically reflects on the good, the bad, and humanity. Within a wide variety of topics, Lang shares free verse that explores bullies, nature and the environment, petty politics, love, heartbreak, death, and grief. Other poems contemplate local news reports about a ferry gone aground, whether the desire to farm the land is truly in the DNA, and a burning question in the middle of winter. Mortals Remain offers a poignant glimpse into a new poet's contemplations as he reflects on life, his own journey, and the world overall.
