Mountain Gravity by Laurence Avery, Raul Peña (Cover Design), Maudy Benz (Editor); 2014. Softcover.

Poetry. MOUNTAIN GRAVITY is a stellar debut collection of poems by Laurence Avery. The poems, accessible and erudite at once, touch the reader with historical stories of American Indians who lived in the North Carolina mountains, of contemporary Southern families maturing in a fast paced world, and of Carolina flora and fauna, beloved by Avery, adapting to changing habitats in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
