Kentucky Literary Newsletter and Calendar

If you question him, Wind Publications’ Charlie Hughes will tell you that he started the Kentucky Literary Newsletter and Calendar as an excuse to flog his own publication list. No matter why he started it, the newsletter has been growing and is containing more and more news. I think Charlie was a fan of the early MobyLives and is offering the same kind of mix. So join the mailing list. But don’t just wait for the bimonthly mailings. Slope on over to the web site once in a while and check things out. Here are some items I picked up over there just today:

Keep Louisville Weird.
Gospel truth: Infrared to reveal 9,000-year secrets
WKU professor, Joe Glaser announces the publication of his translation, The Canterbury Tales in Modern Verse (Hackett Publishing, 2005).
Kaleidowhirl, an online magazine edited by Kentuckian Cynthia Reynolds, seeks submissions
Robert Penn Warren Centennial Prize

He also has several links relevant to the Foetry controversy that are worth following up.

And while you’re at it, check out the Wind Publication list. It is impressive. (I’m eagerly awaiting the reissue of Richard Taylor’s Girty. Charlie’s doing us a service by bringing that book back into print.)

    [...] Owner of Wind Publications, publisher of the Kentucky Literary Newsletter and Calendar, Charlie Hughes is also an excellent poet. (See this post for more on Charlie as publisher.) The poem below is from his collection, Shifting for Myself (Wind, 2002). Charlie says: this poem refers to US 68 between Lexington and Harrodsburg. I’ve driven it countless times at night. If you’ve ever traveled it you’ll see the connection [...]
