On Tuesday of this week, the event for WE ARE APPALACHIA! was held on the Marshall University campus. The readings from the book by a few of the student contributors and others in the Marshall community were lovely, and President Smith read his preface and poem–wonderful writing. He has a literary soul. The event had a good turnout, and despite the fact I was involved in a car accident on the way there (no injuries!), I think I was calm as a cucumber hosting (I think, anyway). The show must go on!
Here is the live stream/recorded link, if you want to watch a little bit.
