Kettle Bottom Sales Top 10,000
Winner of the 2004 Perugia Press Prize, Diane Gilliam's poetry is still a hot seller, this month topping 10,000 books out in the world. Kettle Bottom is taught in colleges and schools across the country, and is now considered part of the canon of Appalachian literature.
Written in the voices of people living and working in the coal mining communities of West Virginia during the mine wars of 1920-1921, Kettle Bottom shows how a community responded in a time of danger.
