Weaver's Knot immerses readers in the lives of textile mill workers, weavers, and needleworkers of Appalachia, and intrigues with the colorful tapestry of ethnic groups who mingle there. We are introduced to a traditional folksinger with a voice granite rich and husky, and a Romani poet who beguiles a bored coffeehouse audience with Manouche jazz. Everything's a song, she says. Mountain girls skat, dance to rain drumming on city roofs, and sass strangers who try to seduce with cock-eyed complements. Here mountains settle around one's shoulders like a familiar shawl, sacred streams flow with prayers, and grandmothers four generations removed sing echoing lullabies. Here also one finds love for humanity--cunningly organized particles-and devotion to the mountain landscapes dipped in honey.
