Description

Abingdon is no stranger to poets and poetry. Longtime Abingdon resident Lou Crabtree, won the Edgar Allen Poe Award for poetry and was named Virginia Laureate in Literature.

The Sow's Ear Press began operation in Abingdon in 1987. Sow's Ear (since relocated to South Carolina) publishes an annual Poetry Review and sponsors two annual competitions juried by eminent poets.

People who built log and plank dwellings

on steep Appalachian hillsides became

the rugged mountains they clung to.
