POWELL RIVER ANTHOLOGY - Allan Young - Bog

THE POWELL RIVER ANTHOLOGY, by Allan Ishmael Young
The people depicted in this tome are the ones who no longer exist; not in this world, anyway. These are tales; in what could be their own words, of their lives, loves, desires, triumphs, tragedies, dreams, relationships, and ultimately, their deaths. To the west of the south end of the Gap of the Mountain through which flows the mighty turbulent Powell River, is an acreage lying golden under the setting sun - the Estes and Cecil. Yes, it is a cemetery - as old as the hills. Most of the people who traversed the River through the Gap are resting there - as well as in several smaller such places scattered around Lee County. But, unfortunately, some ventured far away and stayed there - although their spirits still come back to intermingle with the ones they left behind. The centralizing common denominator is the Powell River itself. It's there for good. They never lose it from their memory or their very being. It's permanent.
