Poet & public radio commentator Michael Chitwood sees himself as a person standing at the intersection where the dirt road of the rural South meets the information superhighway, & like a smart bluetick hound, he's looking both ways in these pointed & often moving essays. Drawing on memories of growing up in the shadow of Virginia's Blue Ridge mountains with anvil-tough women & fox-clever men, as well as his encounters with the computerized, rapidly changing New South, Chitwood takes on subjects as wide-ranging as tobacco, hunting, politics, religion & family in this powerful collection, his first book of prose.
