Today on Accents Radio, Katerina will interview the multi-talented writer Mary Popham.

Popham has published fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and more in such places as The Louisville Review, The Courier Journal, and Appalachian Heritage, among others. Her novel, Back Home in Landing Run, is about how Haley’s Comet changed an entire town in central community. It came out in October 2013 to high praise. Here are what a couple critics have said about it:

“Here is a romance as sweet as a Kentucky jam cake.”

-Sena Jeter Naslund.

“Back Home in Landing Run is a vivid story of a community in crisis and a woman coming into her own.”

-George Ella Lyon.

Be sure to tune in at 2pm on WRFL 88.1 Radio Free Lexington (or stream it live on the web!)
