About

Her name, the letters chipped

and weathered here and there,

evokes an image:

she is kneeling

dapple tasseled hair

sun sheened

smiling warmly

busied by sowing

faithfully planting

in her time and place

of perfection.

--C.S. Lang

In his first collection of poetry, Appalachian poet C.S. Lang intertwines homespun emotions with twenty-first century reality as he lyrically reflects on the good, the bad, and humanity.

Within a wide variety of topics, Lang shares free verse that explores bullies, nature and the environment, petty politics, love, heartbreak, death, and grief. Other poems contemplate local news reports about a ferry gone aground, whether the desire to farm the land is truly in the DNA, and a burning question in the middle of winter.

Mortals Remain offers a poignant glimpse into a new poets contemplations as he reflects on life, his own journey, and the world overall.
