Böcker av Ralph Monday

The Book of Appalachia is a work about the history and cultural heritage of the Appalachian region in the United States. The work is divided thematically into two parts: Part I explores the nature of the region. Part II develops the varied experiences of the individuals who have lived in Appalachia, primarily set in Southeastern KY and Northeastern TN, a region of mountains, forest, streams, and of coal mining, timber logging, moonshine making. A variety of voices sing their songs of love and hate, of despair and beauty, of experiences that frame the human condition.

"Really, what can you do with love?"Bergman's Island and Other Poems is a collection of over three dozen of Ralph Monday's best poems, exploring 20th century history, American culture, film, and more.

The book includes several poems published by Terror House Magazine in 2019 and 2020.
