James Still's transition to rural life in the Kentucky hills led him to document the unique expressions and customs of his community in The Wolfpen Notebooks. After leaving his teaching job, he immersed himself in the local culture, cultivating food and bees, while also writing the acclaimed novel River of Earth and various poems. This collection compiles his observations from twenty-one notebooks, featuring an interview, glossary, and bibliography. It captures a rich tapestry of Appalachian life and language, preserving a time and experience that is often overlooked.
