Hello and welcome to the Kentucky Writer's Notebook, a podcast created and hosted by me, Kathleen Driskell, your current Kentucky poet laureate, and carried to you with the aim of sharing great work by the many talented and diverse contemporary writers across our Commonwealth.

This podcast is brought to you through the sponsorship of the Kentucky Arts Council and the Sena Jeter Naslund-Karen Mann Graduate School of Writing at Spalding University, with undergraduate and graduate writing programs, including the MFA in Writing. And GoodriverReview.com. Good River is an online literary magazine which brings some of the best contemporary writing to readers twice a year. To learn more about me, you can visit KathleenDriskell.com.

The Kentucky Writer's Notebook shares the best contemporary writing by the authors of our Commonwealth, from the Hollers to the big cities to the Western Prairies. I'll also share the latest information about readings, book fairs, visiting writers, calls for submissions from Kentucky literary journals, new book releases by Kentucky writers, and any other news valuable to Kentucky writers and readers. And perhaps a writing tip or two.
