An anthology of essays and poems by natives and transplants offering a refreshing variety of perspectives of the Kentucky city.
What is Louisville’s identity in the twenty-first century? Is it the southernmost midwestern city, the midwestiest southern town, or somewhere in between? Living on the border of two regions creates a hybrid sensibility full of contradictions that can be difficult to articulate beyond “from Louisville, not Kentucky.” In this collection of evocative essays and poems by natives and transplants, The Louisville Anthology offers locals and visitors a closer look at compelling private and public spaces around town. It’s an attempt to articulate what defines Louisville beyond its most recognized cultural exports. Edited by Erin Keene, editor-in-chief at Salon.com, this is a portrait of a city caught between onward and remember-when. Here, readers will encounter stories about:
· Louisville’s early punk scene
· Life as a transplant in Butcherville
· A Trip to Cave Hill Cemetery
· A Trek to find Muhammad Ali’s Louisville
· And more A perfect book for Louisville natives or for those looking for a more nuanced look at an often-stereotyped region of the country.
