Dirt Road

In his debut work, poet Kerry Moyer paints pictures of his world. These glimpses of friends, family, and familiar places tell his story, but they also tell the reader's. His nostalgic lens appeals to everyone who grew up in rural America close to or at the end of a dirt road. We can picture ourselves in the apple orchard or on the porch of the old farmhouse of Moyer's youth, because we have these or something similar in our own memories. We can also see ourselves in our favorite watering hole, in trouble, and at the end of our rope. Moyer's voice becomes ours. With Dirt Road, Moyer introduces his voice to a wider audience and helped many of us to find our own voice and our own dirt road.
