"... I am struck by the range of voices here, the details of memory, the visionary leaps; but I am also struck by what these voices have in common....Such a perspective allows us to see our own lives, our histories, and the paths we’ve taken with a measure of honesty. That’s exactly what we ask of literature, and what literature asks, in turn, of us—to be reminded of what we’ve always known.
—Maurice Manning, author of A Companion for Owls and Bucolics

"Outscape is a beautiful collection, bursting at the seams with some of the best fiction, poetry, and essays of the region....this is an anthology that showcases the incredible depth of talent we have in this lyrical place while offering pieces that are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and always thought-provoking."
—Silas House, author of A Parchment of Leaves and The Coal TattooEditors, Jessie Janeshek and Jesse Graves
