If you’re not from Appalachia, you might not know about the Mountain Valley Pipeline, 303 miles of pipe that run through West Virginia and Virginia to channel natural gas fracked out of the Marcellus Shale into cities and towns all over the mid-Atlantic. You might not have heard about the way the construction of this pipeline strips Appalachian people of their land via eminent domain. About the forests it destroys. About the water it renders undrinkable.
You might not know yet. But if you read Holler, Denali Sai Nalamalapu’s beautiful graphic memoir out from Timber Press this May, you’ll walk away with a lot more than just the facts when it comes to the MVP.
