What Comes Down to Us
25 Contemporary Kentucky Poets
Description:... What Comes Down To Us features twenty-five of KentuckyÕs most accomplished contemporary poets. Together they serve to illustrate the diversity and richness of poetry being written today in the Commonwealth. The poems were collected by Jeff Worley, a poet who has lived in Kentucky for more than two decades. Although the subject matter of the poems transcends the stateÕs borders, the collection communicates a strong sense of Kentucky as a place. WorleyÕs introduction places contemporary Kentucky poetry in the context of the stateÕs rich literary tradition, and the poet biographies include their reflections and, often, their poetic approach and technique.
