Trade paperback. Etat : Very good. xiv, 65, [1] pages. Illustrated endpapers. Afterword by Parks Lanier, Jr. Illustrations. The author was born in Knoxville, Tennessee and graduated from the University of Tennessee and earned several awards such as Distinguished Tennessee Writer (1989), Outstanding Contribution to Appalachian Literature (1991), and Appalachian Heritage Writer's Award (2000). As the symbol of her life and work, Marilou Awiakta has chosen the emblem of the immortal Awi Usdi leaping within an atomic nucleus. Thus she unites seemingly opposing worlds: the ancient and the contemporary, the past and the future, the sacred and the scientific. Awiakta knows that the wilderness, the untamed, enchanted world of the Cherokee, has not vanished. It is just pushed back to the edge, waiting to return. Oak Ridge, the atomic frontier where Awiakta grew up, city of prefab houses, high fences, boardwalks, dirt streets and nuclear reactors, was ringed with forest, blackberries, and the calls of wild birds. As her poems record, during her childhood and youth (1945-1957) Marilou Awiakta saw great changes at Oak Ridge and profound changes in the world. Presumed First printing of Photo Enhanced edition.
