Summary:

"Daniel Boone's Window, the second book of poetry by Matthew Wimberley, meditates on the past and future of contemporary Appalachia through explorations of a too often mythologized place and people. In poems that confront a region indelibly shaped by environmental turmoil, economic erasure, and the weight of an outside world intent on destroying it, Daniel Boone's Window works to reclaim and reckon with the realities and complexities of Appalachia. At the heart of this collection are poems about family and memory-lines that turn their gaze outward, beyond the mountain passes and dense forests of the poet's home state and into an uncertain world and future. Along the way, Wimberley makes from memory and myth a new map, with a newly charted course for contemporary Appalachian poetry"-- Provided by publisher.
