The Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning will be hosting a reading to honor Jane Gentry, a former poet laureate of Kentucky. Hosted by Kasia Pater, the event will feature 19 Kentucky writers to read Jane’s work, some of which include Bobbie Ann Mason, George Ella Lyon, Mary Ann Taylor Hall, and Leatha Kendrick. In an interview with the Herald-Leader, Sue Churchill (one of the event’s organizers) said, “We don’t want this to have a funeral atmosphere. This is a celebration of the blessing that Jane brought to all of us and to this area of the country.” (source)
