Written for a banquet of the Kentucky General Assembly held in Lexington’s Phoenix Hotel, “In Kentucky” is supposedly one of the most well-known poems about the state. I hadn’t heard of it until Ashley told me about it the other day.
Really wonderful article on Larkspur Press, the great little old-school publisher here in Kentucky.
Kentuckian and Berea graduate C.E. Morgan’s new novel seems like the perfect thing for me — taughtly constructed, deeply conscious of place, and filled with unmistakeable echoes of religion. (The review is posted on The Second Pass, my favorite new bookmark.)
Great, detailed analysis here from a local (Lexington, Ky.-based) blogger about the decline and mismanagement of Lexmark and how the company’s worth basically a tenth of what it was worth five years ago. It’s ultimately a very sad story, since Lexmark is one of our biggest local employers.
Larkspur Press prints Kentucky books the old-fashioned way — with a real impact type, on fine paper, with hand-sewn bindings. We share some authors with them, but they mainly publish poetry and short fiction, with beautiful handmade engravings.
They serve an entirely different market than we do, but I’ve always loved their books. Perhaps I should organize a field trip to visit them.
Now, I’ve heard of political attack ads, but I’ve never heard of political attack Web sites!
Greg Fischer and Bruce Lunsford are both running for the Ky. Democratic party’s nomination for U.S. Senate this year. Fischer’s campaign created a Web site to advertise Lunsford’s “baggage.” Hey, whatever works to keep Lunsford out of office.
this is how I want to camp.
