With stunning cinematography, King Coal explores the lives in Central Appalachia and how the effects and bonds instilled by the coal industry.  The film has been described by one reviewer as “A poetic ode to the blue ridges of Central Appalachia.”  “King Coal often evokes an IMAX educational film in its scope, space, and presence. The film explores the complex history of coal as a specter that looms over the region,” writes John Fink. “The precious rock is celebrated throughout, the picture never veering off-course to engage in a discussion of contemporary politics. It's instead built on West Virginia itself, a land still tied to mythology in some ways.” “Who are we, without a king?” asks Lanie Marsh, the young star of the picture. “King Coal” debuts in Charleston on Aug. 31 at the Floralee Hark Cohen Cinema.

We'll look to be running first shift when we get up and running, then we'll add a second shift and eventually go to a 24/7 production schedule,” said Matthew Hart, Vice-President of Human Resources. Omnis uses state of the art building materials to create pre-fabricated home building blocks. The blocks are then used to pre-assemble sustainable and energy efficient homes. The company is headquartered in California and announced Bluefield would be the site of their first operation in the eastern United States in March 2022. Officials anticipated by the time the new plant is at full operational capacity, they'll have close to 200 full-time employees.  Read more: https://wvmetronews.com/2023/07/24/omnis-seeks-workers-for-40-million-bluefield-operation/   Find these stories and more at wv.gov/daily304.

An interview from the archives - complete with the old music! - with Robert Boswell, award-winning author of seven novels, including Tumbledown (Graywolf Press). Robert Boswell published a book on craft in 2008, The Half-Known World. In this book, he details how important it is for writers to give themselves over to what he calls the "half-known world" of fiction, where surprise and meaning converge. Consider this in terms of an exercise: this week's Write the Book Prompt is to think about surprise converging with meaning. An example of my own: a driver stops at a quick mart due to a mundane but necessary need: coffee, perhaps, or a bathroom break. Who might she meet or run into there? How does this affect her day, or the trip she's embarking on? Did she want to be seen? Has this person affected her life in the past? How will this encounter affect the story? Consider this week how surprise might come up against meaning in your own work, offering an opportunity to change the narrative in a valuable way.  Good luck with this exercise and please listen next week for another.
