Another Appalachia: Coming Up Queer and Indian in a Mountain Place by Neema Avashia

challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

Beautiful collection of essays, all of which continually push back on outdated images of the region while carving out a new space for new writers and artists to emerge. 

I'm particularly struck by Avashia's experimentation with structure. Many essays are centered around a single object or action and the structure of the prose often reflects or elaborates on that central metaphor. 

Excited to see what she writes next!
