Charles Cross

Charles B. Cross is an Appalachian poet with a passionate praise for the indomitable quiescence of the region that seems to project onto the minds of so many lives settling or passing through. His poems are reflective on the idea that maturity is corollary with knowing that we are in both the driver's seat, as well as the passenger's, on the open road, where the destination is extraneous compared to the endless sites and smells and faces revealed when you're really looking.
