Before the 2016 election focused national attention on Appalachia, Jerry Wemple grew up attuned to the ridgelines, rivers, and voices of the Susquehanna Valley. “Night falls suddenly when the sun declines / behind these rolling hills,” he writes. Sentence by sentence, Wemple’s eloquent couplets reveal a multigenerational tale of memory, paternity, and faith, through the eyes of outsiders whose lives are anything but simple. Artemas & Ark transforms “a plain place” into a mythic location with poems that will haunt readers long after they lay down the book.
