Synopsis

The debut collection of poems from Appalachian writer Tucker Riggleman. Broken into two cohesive parts, Japanese Maple takes the reader on a journey through a troubled past, tinged with hopeful desperation. While much of this collection can be seen as auto-biographical in nature, at its core these poems tell the tale of a perceptive young adult grappling with the beautiful lonesomeness of leaving his home state of West Virginia, and all of the wonders and heartache that entails.
