An Evening with Kentucky Poet Laureate Silas House at Frazier History Museum
He will tell you John Boy Walton, a country boy who wanted to be a writer, was his hero. Silas House was living that same life in Southeastern Kentucky, and when a teacher told him he was a writer, he believed her as she had believed in him.
With his many novels, Silas House is among the strongest voices of Southern writers. He is a New York Times bestselling author, a Grammy nominee, Kentucky’s current poet laureate, and a faculty member at both Berea College and Spalding University’s Master of Fine Arts in Writing program, from which he received his degree. His working-class upbringing and deep roots in Appalachia helped shape him. And it wasn’t always easy as a gay man. Even so, you won’t find a greater advocate for Kentucky.
Come hear Silas House tell his own story in his most eloquent voice.
You will learn. You will be moved. You will be inspired.
