Uncovering Appalachia’s Hidden Heroines: Pauletta Hansel Reveals Untold Stories in Understory
Pauletta Hansel: Thanks so much, Leslie, and I appreciate your reflections on the thinness of the veil on All Hallow’s Eve, as well as your curiosity about how these hobgoblins and witches eating up our candy will carry us forward through the centuries! It was the original North American matriarch of my family, Margaret Dawson Wroughton Attawell Grimes, born more than four centuries ago, who brought me into this particular story (or understory!), first for some poems for a previous book, Heartbreak Tree, and eventually for what became Understory.
