Religious and Spiritual Verse: Appalachian Poetry
In this project, Steven Salaita, a budding poet, interviewed two other Appalachian poets, Rita Sizemore Riddle, and Jim Minick, both of Radford University. Mr. Salaita decided to focus on religion and spirituality in Appalachian poetry, and found Ms. Riddle to be personally religious but one who does not much about spirituality in her work, while Mr. Minick is not personally religious but writes extensively about spirituality in his work. This is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009.

Tilling the Soul. Vegetable Gardening as Tradition
In this project, Nicole Owens explored the question of why so many Appalachian still maintain vegetable gardens since grocery stores are so prevalent and food is so inexpensive. To answer this question, and to learn more about her connection to it, she interviewed members of her own family, who still do and have always maintained a garden. Through these interviews, Ms. Owens determined that gardening involves elements of tradition, pride, and spirituality that are just as important as the actual food that the garden produces. This is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009.

The Rorrer Store Weaving Close Knit Threads of a Mountain Community. Life and Times of a Country Store
In this project, Sherri Rorrer Quesenberry, after reflecting on her family’s history decided to focus on a general store that her grandparents ran. Like other general stores, The Rorrer store helped create a feeling of community where people would meet and visit with each other; would both buy and trade goods to obtain the things they needed for their daily lives- things such as tobacco, grain, kerosene, fatback, salted fish and cloth. Often, and in this case, general store owners would help the community by offering credit to struggling families. Ms. Quesenberry conducted interviews with family members and former customers of the store to present a picture of the community that formed in part thanks to the Rorrer Store. This is among projects created by students enrolled in English 446 (initially English 452), “Appalachian Folklore,” 1981-2019, and in graduate level counterparts English 548 and 648 “Appalachian Folk Culture(s)” offered 17 fall semesters between 1987 and 2009.
