Coal Poet, Sarah L. Cornett-Hagen, is a native of Haymond in Letcher County, Kentucky. She currently lives with family in Dallas, Texas. She has lived in southern Oregon for a majority of her life, to which these stories and poems about her home originated. She writes nature essays, poetry, and makes philosophical comments about the foibles of man. Never far from her heart or writing pen is her beloved eastern Kentucky and southwest Virginia, now in the throes of permanent obliteration caused by mountaintop removal.
