National Poetry Month

Constance Alexander's last column in a National Poetry Month series looks at creative techniques applied in the book "Appalachian Ghosts."

Rahul Mehta's collection convinced Alexander to "seek sustenance in the dawning day."

Carver taught successfully for more than a decade and was named Kentucky Teacher of the Year in 2022 before a small contingent in his community ended his career.

Columnist Constance Alexander, who provides opportunities to observe National Poetry Month, recommends a new collection by teacher, poet and fiber artist Jane Hicks.
