Monday, Nov. 2 @ 4 p.m. (Faculty House):
This event and co-sponsored by the Philosophy/ Religous Studeis and University College.
Brett Ralph suggests three generative sources for Black Sabbatical, his debut collection of poetry and a 2007 selection for the Linda Bruheimer Series in Kentucky Literature: growing up Southern working class in the 1970s and 80s, playing in punk rock bands, and practicing Tibetan Buddhism. Unsurprisingly, one review finds Black Sabbatical singing with “gutbucket colloquialisms, hallucinatory interludes, and the storytelling tradition of Kentucky.” When not teaching at Hopkinsville Community College, his country rock ensemble, Brett Eugene Ralph’s Kentucky Chrome Revue, plays seedy dives throughout the South.
Links below will take you to videos. The first highlights a reading at Murray State and the other is his eponymous band playing at Air Devils’ Inn in Louisville. Gutbucket indeed!

From Dale,
Dear All…
Those of you who remember a recent’ish graduate, Ms. Lindsay Sainlor, will be thrilled to hear that she has been awarded a fellowship to study creative nonfiction in the MFA Program at Emerson College (in Boston) and will be working on the renowned national literary
journal, Ploughshares. In her own inimitable words, “Indiana, Columbia College, and Hollins fell through, but thankfully Emerson decided to take a chance on a little girl from Kentucky.”
–kudos , Lindsay!

Dear All…
Jeff Fearnside has accepted a position to teach at Prescott College (in Prescott, Arizona), where he will also become the managing editor of their really fine literary journal Alligator Juniper (winner of the 2000 and 2003 AWP Prize for undergraduate literary magazines). Way to go, Jeff!
P.S. WKU writers will, well, be sending a piece or two the way of Alligator Juniper!

This from Dale and Creative Writing
Dear All…
Oxford, Mississippi is fast becoming a sister city to our creative writing program! Three
years ago, some of you may remember, ALEX TAYLOR has just accepted a full fellowship to study
fiction in Ole Miss’s outstanding MFA Program; and now, just this week, TRAVIS MORRIS has
accepted a full fellowship to study poetry in the very same–highly competitive–MFA Program at
the University of Mississippi.
Way to go, Travis! May your poetry imbibe the cadences of the Delta Blues…
