In the Heart of the Mountains

In the Heart of the Mountains explores the changing of the seasons in the western part of North Carolina. While the author, R. A. Pace, lived in and around the Blue Ridge Parkway, she went on routine hikes into the wilderness of western North Carolina and crafted audacious poetry that breaks from convention while staying with the traditional subject matter of Robert Frost and the like. In the Heart of the Mountains is to be appreciated and enjoyed for its affection for our natural world.
