This article, titled "Shades Mountain," is a collection of two poems by Austin Segrest. The poems reflect on the author's experiences growing up on the backside of Shades Mountain, a suburban subslope in Alabama. The author describes the landscape, including the presence of a gorge called Fuller's Creek, and reminisces about the area's history and the social divide between different neighborhoods. The poems also touch on the author's personal connection to the place and the difficulty of fully capturing its essence.
