THE DITCH-WALKING LOVE took shape in the Murphees Valley section of the Cumberland Plateau in central Alabama. Where I live, ridges lift above ravines the creeks and small rivers have cut into being. And if you dig down in a field, the steel of a shovel or posthole digger will hit the chert in the soil, causing the ground to spark. That difficulty of breaking the land can be heard in the people here–we set flint to our words. Speaking this way is at the heart of THIS DITCH-WALKING LOVE.
