About this title

Synopsis

The poems of Blues & Roots / Rue & Bluets make up an unofficial oral history in verse of the Southern Appalachian folk often vilified and dismissed as hillbillies. Most of these poems are composed in a pungent dialect, as if Huck Finn had settled in the Blue Ridge or Smoky Mountains and continued to view the world's propensity for stupidity and meanness with the humorist's clear-eyed and trenchant truth-telling.

From the Back Cover

"Jonathan Williams offers us in every poem a lyric line of suave clarity and highly involved verbal harmony."--Guy Davenport
