About Us
Appalachian Heritage is truly indispensable for readers and writers and literary folk in general who enjoy fine writing and are interested in the land and people of the Appalachian mountain region.
—Gurney Norman
LOOK IT OVER
by Wendell Berry
"I leave behind even
my walking stick. My knife
is in my pocket, but that
I have forgot. I bring
no car, no cell phone,
no computer, no camera,
no CD player, no fax, no
TV, not even a book. I go
into the woods. I sit down on
a log provided at no cost.
It is the earth I’ve come to,
the earth itself, sadly
abused by the stupidity
only humans are capable of
but, as ever, itself. Free.
A bargain! Get it while it lasts!"
“Without Appalachian Heritage, I probably never would have worked up the courage to submit my work…the publication of my story in your magazine let me know that my writing had some merit.”
