About the Author
Previously a tenured associate professor of English at Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College, Melissa Helton, serves as the literary arts director for the Hindman Settlement School. In Troublesome Rising, a visceral and powerful anthology, well-known and emerging Appalachian writers create not only a historical document and an in-depth investigation of the late July 2022 catastrophic flash flood in eastern Kentucky, but also a celebration of Appalachian strength, determination, and resilience.
