Our first event, last Thursday January 25<sup>th<\/sup>, was a Queer Appalachian reading showcasing the work of Appalachian native writers Julia Watts, Jeff Mann and Okey Napier. Watts is an editor of the anthology <em>Unbroken Circle: Stories of Cultural Diversity in the South<\/em> and Napier and Mann both have personal essays included in it. The reading brought about 80 attendees which included students, faculty, and community members.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/english\/files\/1-300x200.jpg\" \/>\u00a0The first reader was Julia Watts. Julia Watts is the author of over a dozen novels and a Lambda Literary Award winner. We had a special opportunity to hear her read from an upcoming, currently untitled LGBTQ Appalachian anthology of fiction and poetry that both she and Jeff Mann are collaborating on. She selected to read the short story \u201cHandling Dynamite\u201d from the anthology. \u201cHandling Dynamite\u201d centered around an LGBTQ character living in secrecy in rural Appalachia while working in the coalmines. The story stayed true to the \u201cdown home\u201d and familiar Appalachian fashion while shedding light on the experience of handling both queer and southern identities.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/english\/files\/2-300x200.jpg\" \/>Our second reader of the night was Okey Napier. Napier is the author of two pending novels and teaches sociology at Marshall University, Ohio University and Mountwest Community and Technical College. He read from his creative non-fiction essay \u201cDave\u201d set in Huntington, West Virginia, about Napier\u2019s experiences befriending a drag queen named Dave who suffered from HIV. It\u2019s tear-jerking and at times humorous reflections reveal the unique struggles and personalities within the Appalachian LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/english\/files\/3-300x200.jpg\" \/>To close off the reading, Lambda Literary Award winner Jeff Mann took the podium to read his essay \u201cBig Queer Convocations,\u201d also featured in the <em>Unbroken Circle<\/em> anthology. The essay swells with pride in his roots while honestly confronting the dissonance of being both gay and Appalachian. In spite of the many political and cultural differences that shroud the gap between both communities, Mann\u2019s essay imparts the message that one can embrace both identities and create their own safe haven in their southern homelands.<\/p>\n<p>A productive and thought-provoking Q&amp;A finished off the reading for the night. Politics, advice on family and reflections on the degree of exposure that the internet has allowed the queer community were all topics of conversation. Many members of the audience stayed after for further discussion and book signing with the authors. By the end of the night the table that contained for-sale copies of <em>Unbroken Circle: Stories of Cultural Diversity in the South <\/em>was empty.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/english\/files\/4-300x200.jpg\" \/>This event was the product of collaboration between many individuals and organizations.
