On this West Virginia Morning, Mason Adams speaks with Kentucky poet laureate Silas House about his book “Lark Ascending,” one of Inside Appalachia‘s summer read picks. In the book, House explores a future that’s reeling from ecological disaster.
Also in this show, Randy Yohe reports on lawsuits over a hidden camera in the West Virginia State Police women’s locker room that continue to pile up.
And, our Mountain Stage Song of the Week comes to us from Los Angeles-based mini-roots orchestra Dustbowl Revival. We listen to their performance of “Let It Go.”
