… Her name, the letters chipped
and weathered here and there,

evokes an image:

she is kneeling
dapple tasseled hair
sun sheened
smiling warmly
busied by sowing
faithfully planting
in her time and place
of perfection.
–C.S. Lang

In his first collection of poetry, Appalachian poet C.S. Lang intertwines homespun emotions with twenty-first century reality as he lyrically reflects on the good, the bad, and humanity.

Within a wide variety of topics, Lang shares free verse that explores bullies, nature and the environment, petty politics, love, heartbreak, death, and grief. Other poems contemplate local news reports about a ferry gone aground, whether the desire to farm the land is truly in the DNA, and a burning question in the middle of winter.

Mortals Remain offers a poignant glimpse into a new poet’s contemplations as he reflects on life, his own journey, and the world overall.
