Proud Roads + Understory Book Bundle

These works stand side by side as records of grief, survival, and care in the wake of the storm.

Proud Roads chronicles the long wake of Helene through prose-poems, lyric fragments, and echoes of Indigenous storytelling. Riedesel’s voice carries both the storm’s wreckage and the stubborn pulse of community.

Understory gathers artists and writers across Southern Appalachia and beyond in a full-color anthology that bears witness to Helene’s devastation and its afterlife through art.

Together, these books form a chorus: one intimate and personal, the other collective and expansive. Both insist on remembering, and both reach toward survival through care.

This bundle is available for a limited time. Order now to hold both of these landmark works in your hands — companion volumes that carry the story of Hurricane Helene forward.
