Poetry
From Joyce Bowling
Kentucky…The Mountains I Call Home is a heart-warming collection of reflective poetry and short stories inspired by events, places, people, family and southern living. Bowling's memoirs and her love for the mountains take the reader on a timeless journey through the mountains of Kentucky and provide an opportunity to experience heartache, love, and joy through the southern Appalachian culture that will forever impact one’s life.
From Steven R. Cope
IN KILLDEER’S FIELD (Poetry, Wind Publications, 2002)College level or beyond/Advanced High School
Cope’s long-awaited first full-length volume of poetry. Says Mary-Ann Taylor Hall, “In Killdeer's Field coheres around grief—austere and passionate—for the wounded natural world.” Moving, serious stuff, straight from the heart of this man forever linked in spirit, soul, and body to the Appalachian mountains.

CLOVER’S LOG (Poetry, Wind Publications, 2004)
College level and beyond/Advanced High School
A thematic collection following a persona introduced in Cope’s first volume of poetry, In Killdeer's Field. Though there are indeed lighter as well as profoundly spiritual moments, Clover’s Log follows by and large a descent into pain, separation, absurdity, addiction, and even madness. “Clover’s Log rings with an iron elementalism and flinty nerve that captivates.” (Michelle Boisseau)

THE FURRBAWL POEMS (Poetry, Broadstone Books, 2005)
College level and beyond/Advanced High School
All of Cope’s poems from 1973-1993 not previously collected. The book chronicles Cope’s development as a poet, taking us through his experimentation with various voices and personae. A joy!
THE MAD REVEREND (Poetry, Wind Publications, 2010)
College Level and beyond/Advanced High School
Cope’s most recent collection of poems in which he allows a single voice to dominate, a single persona to be stripped bare. There’s never been a book of poems quite like this one.
