In 2012 Matthew Wimberley took a two-month journey, traveling and living out of his car, during which time he had planned to spread his father's ashes. By trip's end, the ashes remained, but Wimberley had begun a conversation with his deceased father that is continued here in his debut collection.

All the Great Territories is a book of elegies for a father as well as a confrontation with the hostile, yet beautiful landscape of southern Appalachia. In the wake of an estranged father's death, the speaker confronts that loss while celebrating the geography of childhood and the connections formed between the living and the dead. The narrative poems in this collection tell one story through many: a once failed relationship, the conversations we have with those we love after they are gone. In an attempt to make sense of the father-son relationship, Wimberley embraces and explores the pain of personal loss and the beauty of the natural world.

Stitching together sundered realms--from Idaho to the Blue Ridge Mountains and from the ghost of memory to the iron present of self--Wimberley produces a map for reckoning with grief and the world's darker forces. At once a labor of love and a searing indictment of those who sensationalize and dehumanize the people and geography of Appalachia, All the Great Territories sparks the reader forward, creating a homeland all its own. "Because it's my memory I can give it to you," Wimberley's speaker declares, and it's a promise well kept in this tender and remarkable debut.

Absolutely made for me.
Style: Canine Coconut
It is a very slight smell but it’s there. It’s a sweetness that hits you rounding the corner into your bedroom. I want an oil diffuser in this scent. I can’t handle smells that are overwhelming in a day to day but this …. Most definitely could.

Not odor masking
Style: Pawsitively Fresh
It's an okay smell but honestly, I would have preferred not using it. It makes the odor stronger, unless that odor is coming from the candle now.

Love this
Style: Pawsitively Fresh
These are the only candles I burn. I have three dogs and a cat, and sometimes some stinky grandkids lol. Everyone comments on how fresh it smells.

Best odor eater candle I’ve ever tried!
Style: Pawsitively Fresh
I stumbled across this product while trying to find some candles which would help mask my puppies’ “aroma” … they’re wonderful. While they don’t really have a scent to them (even though they say they do) they do minimize the odor ALOT. As an example, our one puppy just was sick and I lit this in his room to help eliminate the stink left behind. Worked so well! My puppies and I are very thankful, because as anyone with pets knows … that stink after a sick animal will burn your nostrils for days 😩

Not sure it's pure Batana oil
I'm not a botanical expert, so I may be totally wrong about this, but based on the ingredients, I don't think this is pure Batana Oil. The ingredient list (typos included) reads: "Elaeis Oleifera Kernel Oil, Babassuamide DEA, AscorbicAcid, Phytosterols, Carotenoids, Vitamins c." The last 4 ingredients might just be components of the oil itself, rather than additives. But Elaeis Oleifera (American Palm) Kernel Oil is Batana oil. But Babassuamide DEA is an oil that comes from the kernels of the babassu palm, not the American palm. Sure, it's still "palm kernel oil", but if I wanted just any ol' palm kernel oil, then I'd use some out of the cooking oil bottle in the kitchen and save myself a buck. I wanted 100% Pure Batana oil. I also can't figure out why the description talks about it containing Vitamin E, when that isn't listed as an ingredient. If it's been added, then it definitely needs to be listed on the package. If it's a natural chemical part of the oil itself, and the same is true of the Vitamin C listed, then why not list both separately? Or is the Vitamin C listed because it's been added despite them saying it's pure Batana oil? I don't know. So if you just want some kind of palm kernel oil to moisturize your hair, and you're not particular about whether or not it's really pure Batana oil, then this might be the oil for you. But, if you're a stickler for purity, maybe not. And there are lots of cheaper Batana-type palm oils out there that aren't true Batana, if price is more important to you than purity.
