These Affrilachian poets are the peak of history and culture in Appalachia. These poets see the world through a different perspective. Coal Black Voices, as they are called, give a new layer to the richness of the Appalachian region. The poet 'Bernard Clay, puts a whole different spin on the city life in a small town. He describes the public transportation system and how different people interact with it. He puts a derogatory spin to this public service but at the same time he enlightens the reader of how an "Affrilachian" town really functions. This poet was my favorite because he tells it like it is in a way that is appealing to the senses and at the same time offensive to the senses. I especially liked the way it flowed. The grammar choices went along with the projected tones of the poem. The words captured his emotions and feelings. Great stories overall!!
