Appalachian Highway
Moving life and death back
And forth: death dominated
On an earlier day
With eight persons shot in
Pike County homes, south
Of Columbus
Where the mountains rise
And God looks deep into
Vales

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.

Yes, way too much bad news. This happened recently in an area I know well. I have friends out that way, too–none of whom were involved. “The Flip Side of the News.” How does that sound for a new program emphasizing good news–and good responses to bad news?
