...to our invitation to blog about your favorite Appalachian book. All of you will be receiving prizes, so if I don't have your mailing address readily available, I may be contacting you for it. We were especially glad to be introduced to Lamb In His Bosom, and thank Gary Garden for sending us this piece. The essays on Fred Chappell's Ancestors and Others (Penny Morse),and Lewis Green's The Silence of Snakes (Bill Everett) were stand-outs as well. And although Melissa is not a Netwest member, her piece on Fair and Tender Ladies was a lovely personal testimonial. She deserves to be rewarded! Carole Thompson's piece on Glenda Barrett honors one of our own best mountain poets. So, thank you to Gary, Bill, Carole, Melissa, and Penny.
We may try another blog prompt in early summer. In the meantime, keep reading and loving what you read.
Kay,
ReplyDeleteI just took my prize, Story's Guide to Raising Chickens and spent the morning reading it on the deck while Chauncey, my prize rooster strutted in the lot below the house. Thank you kindly. Thank you, kindly. i expect to find greater pleasure in the chicken lot this summer than I ever received dabbling in the arts.
