Reviews
In Light at the Seam , Joseph Bathanti offers us a poetry of immersion reminiscent of Gerard Manley Hopkins--a voice given weight, texture, and energy through a vigorous rhetoric full of physical grit, spondaic music, and lyric diction, often exotic in ways mindful of etymology and infused with a sense of wonder via bold figuration. I know of no other poet with a voice quite like this. It is singular., Joseph Bathanti's eco-poems simultaneously praise the intricate beauty of Creation and rage against the coal industry's destruction of Appalachian mountains and Appalachian lives. His sacramental vision, his witness, along with his compression of sound and sense, are akin to the work of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Lamenting the felling of Binsey poplars, Hopkins cried out, 'O if we but knew what we do. . . .' But in this moment, we do know. Climate change tells us, and Bathanti's poems show us, close up. In 'Sundial, WV' we learn that 'children take sick from powdered coal' and that '2.8 billion gallons of coal sludge' are impounded in a slurry pond right above their elementary school. We see disastrous flooding in West Virginia when Pigeon Creek has 'had too much to drown' and in Kentucky when 'a good house / built righteously . . . [is] swamped, then sundered, vitals bared . . . [its] yard washed off to Pike County.' For Bathanti, as for Blake, 'Everything that lives is Holy'--'mossy black rock / pink angiosperm / lichen, leather-leaf / stonewart, ferns.' Light at the Seam exposes the ruin spewed forth from the opposite outlook: Everything that lives is money. Greed and gluttony will get it while they can, Mother Earth, her inhabitants, and Mater Gloriosa be damned., Light at the Seam is exactly that--the lit language of poetry working its way back into Earth's deepest beginnings, restoring to our threatened world its dignity as Creation. Joseph Bathanti stands in the lineage of Hopkins, in and on the mountains of West Virginia, and witnesses both their beauty and ruin. These poems praise--the earth, the human, the divine--and offer a way to 'look upon the earth' that could be our saving grace.

Synopsis
Winner of the Roanoke-Chowan Award for Poetry Winner of the Brockman-Campbell Award Light at the Seam, a new collection from North Carolina poet Joseph Bathanti, is an exploration of mountaintop removal in southern Appalachian coal country. The volume illuminates and champions often invisible people residing, in a precarious moment in time, on the glorious, yet besieged, Appalachian earth. Their call to defend it, as well as their faith that the land will exact its own reckoning, constitutes a sacred as well as existential quest. Rooted in social and restorative justice, Light at the Seam contemplates the earth as fundamentally sacramental, a crucible of awe and mystery, able to regenerate itself and its people even as it succumbs to them. More than mere cautionary tale, this is a volume of hope and wonder.
