APPALACHIAN POETRY - The Cosmic Possum - Jane Hicks
Jane is a teacher, poet, and fiber artist from upper East Tennessee. The Jesse Stuart Foundation published her book, Blood & Bone Remember, in January 2005. This book recently won the Poetry Book of the Year 2006 Award from the Appalachian Writers Association.

Why the possum? The possum is the perfect symbol of my beloved Appalachia: underappreciated, misunderstood, and the ultimate survivor in the face of all manners of predation. The poem "How We Became Cosmic Possums" grew out of these reflections on our lives. We were educated, sophisticated people who went to college in the late sixites and early seventies who still appreciate and respect our Appalachian roots.

Jane is quilting a top pieced by her great-great-grandmother in the 1930's. The pattern is Trip Around the World. (photo by Ron Hicks)
