In the third episode of Read Appalachia, host Kendra Winchester asks, what is the future of Appalachian Literature? To investigate, she talks to authors and editors of Appalachian Futures, an initiative from the University of Kentucky Press, that features Black, Native, LGBTQ+ writers, and other writers of marginalized identities. Kendra is joined by special guests Stacy Jane Grover, the author of the forthcoming Tar Hollow Trans: Essays, and her editor Abby Freeland. Plus, Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle returns to discuss her role as an editor in the Appalachian Futures series.
