  • Book Discussion Announcement.Indd
    Kentucky Humanities announced Kentucky Reads, a statewide literacy initiative centering on the novel Birds of Opulence by Kentucky author Crystal Wilkinson. As part of this initiative, Kentucky Humanities is making available 25 book discussion programs to be held throughout Kentucky using Birds of Opulence. We have assembled an impressive group of scholars who will lead thoughtful and insightful discussions about the themes in the book. The booking fee for any non-profit organization is $50 and each organization that books a Birds of Opulence book discussion will be provided with 15 copies of the novel to share among participating members, publicity materials to promote your discussion, and expenses paid to the discussion leader (including an honorarium and travel expenses.) Any non-profit organization in Kentucky can host this program, including libraries, historical societies, churches, prisons, veterans’ groups, museums, book clubs, etc. These programs will be awarded on a first-come first-served basis and must take place between February 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. How It Works 1. Decide your organization would like to host a book discussion of Birds of Opulence. 2. Select who will serve as your scholar to lead a discussion about the book and relevant topics. 3. Contact the scholar and set a date, time, and location for your group discussion and discuss any special arrangements. Determine if this event will be in-person or virtual and discuss this with the scholar. 4. Book the program using the online booking form at least six weeks in advance and pay the $50 booking fee. 5. Kentucky Humanities will send you an agreement to sign and return.

  • 2010 Presenter Bios SHELIA JOYCE Is a Poet, Book Reviewer, and Actor
    2010 Presenter Bios SHELIA JOYCE is a poet, book reviewer, and actor from Madison County, KY. With her husband Ken Pyle she has owned, cooked for, and performed at their Louisville, KY restaurant/theatre/music hall, The Rudyard Kipling, for twenty-five years. In her biography, Shelia writes, “Sheila in her childhood was told her name was Theodora Sheila Joyce Strunk. Her little classmates back in Madison County Kentucky thought this was pretty funny. They laughed and marked Sheila for life. Nevertheless, she went on to graduate from Berea College with a major in English and to receive the very first Masters Degree in English-speech-dramatic arts awarded by the University of Kentucky. When Sheila began writing articles and book reviews and acting in plays, she gave herself the stage nom de plume of Sheila Joyce. She discovered upon writing for her birth certificate when she was getting married for the first time that the state health department knew her only as baby girl Strunk. She could have renamed herself anything. But after all those years of suffering, she figured "Oh the hell with it," and sent back the whole Theodora Sheila etc., etc. She's been married a couple of times and has toyed with signing her books as TSJSH Pyle in the manner of the renowned MFK Fisher. The IRS finds her however she signs, and happily so do her social security checks. In 1981 Shelia’s booklength poem about her late father, "Theodore Gamblin Strunk" was a finalist in the annual contest sponsored by the Academy of American Poets.
