Finalist, 2019 Weatherford Award (Fiction)

A finalist for the 2019 Weatherford Award in Fiction, Weedeater  is a contemporary story of love and loss told by a pair of eastern Kentucky mountaineers: Gene, the lovelorn landscaper who bears witness to the misadventures of a family entangled in drugs, artmaking, and politics, a family beset by both environmental and self-destruction; and Dawn Jewell, a young mother  searching--for lost family members, lost youth, lost community, and lost heart.

Picking up six years after the end of Robert Gipe's acclaimed first novel, Trampoline, in Weedeater,  the reader finds Canard County living through the last hurrah of the coal industry and the most turbulent and deadly phase of the community's battle with opioid abuse. The events Gipe chronicles are frantic. They are told through a voice by turns taciturn and angry, yet also balanced with humor and stoic grace. Weedeater  is a story about how we put our lives back together when we lose the things we thought we couldn't bear losing, how we find new purpose in what we thought were scraps and trash caught in the weeds.

just buy them
Size: 300 Count (Pack of 1)
Look.. They are paper plates. Are they thin? yes; use two of them, they are cheap enough. If you want "sturdy" to hold your spaghetti or thanksgiving dinner, then use a regular plate and get out of the review section. We use for pizza, sandwiches, hotdogs normal paper plates foods to avoid washing dishes 17times day. If my kids use 25 in one day. so what; each plate cost less than a penny. Bought 300ct in Feb 2025. It's April 2025 and I'm getting ready to place a 2nd order.

Low Quality, High Quantity, But Definitely Overpriced
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
When did low quality paper plates start costing so much? Yes, you get 500, but these are very thin and I tend to use 2 or 3 at a time, especially when they stick and I don’t want to deal with ripping them apart. These are just ok. Nothing quality about these plates but they do what I need when I use those paper plate holders to keep them supported.

NICE for soups!
Style: 34 Ounces, Size: 34 Count
We try to keep these in the house. They are REALLY nicely sized and work great for soups. They are AWESOME for soups and the only disposable plates I feel comfy using for large stews and such. Makes cleaning easy because I don't HAVE TO CLEAN! They are a bit more expensive than otherd disposable plates, but they are worth it. Pretty heavy duty plates that are thick and great for heavier foods. <3
