South of Pittsburgh by Michael Comiskey
South of Pittsburgh: Poems From Northern Appalachia
One of the most familiar and striking features of Northern Appalachia is the changing of the seasons. The contrasts and the contradictions of these fluctuations at once comforting and disconcerting, as are these poems. What Robert Frost did for New England in North of Boston, Michael Comiskey has done for the region in South of Pittsburgh. Michael Comiskey is a retired professor of political science and economics at Penn state Fayette.
