The collection uses autobiographical and narrative poems to explore the unique intersectional experience of being Black and from Appalachia. Walker tells the story of growing up as a young, Black, and artistic male in Kentucky, a part of the country often stereotyped as exclusively white. The book serves to challenge these misconceptions and make the Black Appalachian experience visible within the broader cultural conversation.
