Whew, I felt that! Grew up in Louisville, lived 14 years in Green County, back in Louisville again. I once had the good fortune and pleasure to sit at Wendell Berry’s kitchen table. Headed to the Gorge next month with my 10 year old daughter for our annual hiking trip there. I love this land. You’re poem Isn’t half bad either😉

Grew up in the northeast and have never been to Kentucky. Hope maybe I will see it someday. Only concrete fact I remember is that GIs from Kentucky were disproportionately represented among Vietnam War veterans. But growing up in the northeast, you never heard mention of Kentucky. It was a place that existed in history books. Daniel Boone. Maybe that is why, that question mark, is why I have long suspected Kentucky holds little known and undervalued treasures. God bless!
