Humankind confronts its fraught relationship with the natural world in the stories of Ring of Earth, where William Woolfitt traces the history of survival and resistance in his home region of Appalachia. Woolfitt's characters find ways to reclaim, repossess, and re-sacralize what's been taken from them, to reckon with the destruction of their environments, cultures, homes, and bodies. The Sinks of Gandy is based on historical accounts of a woman who shot one of the last eastern elks near Spruce Knob in the 1830s; in Fire Season, a dying father watches through his window the red spruce forests burning. Clay eaters, orphans, child miners, immigrant laborers, and the victims of illegal sterilizations are among the survivors in Ring of Earth who bear witness to our broken land as they search for the hope and the mystery that might still be running and running ben-eath the shell of the earth.
