Backwoods Literary Press: Rural Anthology Bundle
Discarded: A Rural Anthology
A reclamation of the narrative of rural and small towns and reservations across the United States, Discarded is an anthology holding the works of 63 artists with place-based relationships to 27 states. Informed by the front porch and the frontlines, this anthology explores the power of narrative-shaping in the face of erasure, blame, and discredit. Discarded has cooked up poems, essays, and songs that show a glimpse into who we are. We hope you’ll join us to feast.
Testament: A Rural Anthology
Testament: A Rural Anthology gathers the voices of 84 writers from 30 states, each holding a place for their communities and in the wider landscape of rural America. These poems, essays, and stories bear witness to what endures despite erasure, isolation, and the narratives that seek to divide us: the bonds between neighbors, the inheritance of memory, the stubborn beauty of ordinary lives, and a quiet wisdom that outlives storms and stacked decks alike. With tenderness, humor, and urgency, this anthology offers a space to listen, to connect, and to remember who we are to each other.
