  • Inaugural Event of Voices from the Hills: a Celebration Of
    141 Section 2: Round-Table Discussion Inaugural Event of Voices from the Hills: a Celebration of Appalachian Writers, in Honor of Danny Miller (1949-2008) Round-Table Discussion: The Future of Appalachian Literature Greaves Concert Hall Northern Kentucky University 26 September 2009 The Round-Table Discussion transcribed below was the opening event of Voices from the Hills, a daylong celebration of Appalachian writers in honor of Danny Miller, a beloved author, editor, mentor, teacher, and friend to countless writers and students throughout the Appalachian region. Danny taught at Northern Kentucky University from 1981 until his death on November 9, 2008, in his tenth year as chair of the re- cently renamed Department of English. Danny’s acute, loving work as co-editor of this journal from 1988 is recognized in the tribute from co-editor and successor Gary Walton that begins the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary issue, published to coincide with our day of celebration on September 26, 2009. The Round-Table Discussion in Greaves Concert Hall, from 10:00-11:15 in the morning, was followed by a Memorial Luncheon in the University Center Ballroom at which the keynote speakers were Gurney Nor- man and Frank X Walker in dialogue. The Public Reading back in Greaves Concert Hall beginning at 1:30 featured readings by Gurney Norman, Crystal Wilkinson, and Wendell Berry. The afternoon concluded with a book signing and reception, with music by Sherry Stanforth and her Appalachian band Sunset Dawn. The organizers at NKU are extremely grateful for the generosity of the writers and musicians who made this exhilarating event in memory of Danny possible.

  • Silas House an Interview with Silas House
    Silas House An Interview with Silas House By Sarah McCartt and Bryan Jackson "We can only discover the universal through the very specific. I think that my "intense attachment" is a great part of why my books are being read, but also the fact that I am able to look at it without rose-colored glasses and just present what it is. Also, I think my books are universal at their most basic. They're about family and friendship, the two most universal things there are." Silas House is the author of the novels Clay's Quilt (2001), A Parchment of Leaves (2002), and The Coal Tattoo (released September 2004). His first two books quickly became favorites of book clubs across the nation and his third already has a remarkable buzz and excellent advance reviews. His work is known for his lyrical and poignant explorations of human nature and the natural world. He has received numerous prizes including the James Still Award for Special Achievement from the Fellowship of Southern Writers, the Chaffin Award for Literature, the Kentucky Novel of the Year, and two ForeWord Magazine Bronze Awards for Best Literary Novel. House is a professor at Eastern Kentucky University and Spalding University 's MFA in Writing program. Aurora: How do you find time to write with teaching, family, and things like book tours taking up a substantial part of your life? Are there any rituals you practice? Do you follow a set schedule for writing/reading like, say Stephen King? What kind of discipline is important for a writer to be effective? House: For me, the writing process is 90% in my head.

  • Something's Rising: Appalachians Fighting Mountaintop Removal Silas House, Jason Howard
    Something's Rising: Appalachians Fighting Mountaintop Removal Silas House, Jason Howard Click here if your download doesn"t start automatically Something's Rising: Appalachians Fighting Mountaintop Removal Silas House, Jason Howard Something's Rising: Appalachians Fighting Mountaintop Removal Silas House, Jason Howard Like an old-fashioned hymn sung in rounds, Something's Rising gives a stirring voice to the lives, culture, and determination of the people fighting the destructive practice of mountaintop removal in the coalfields of central Appalachia. Each person's story, unique and unfiltered, articulates the hardship of living in these majestic mountains amid the daily desecration of the land by the coal industry because of America's insistence on cheap energy. Developed as an alternative to strip mining, mountaintop removal mining consists of blasting away the tops of mountains, dumping waste into the valleys, and retrieving the exposed coal. This process buries streams, pollutes wells and waterways, and alters fragile ecologies in the region. The people who live, work, and raise families in central Appalachia face not only the physical destruction of their land but also the loss of their culture and health in a society dominated by the consequences of mountaintop removal. Included here are oral histories from Jean Ritchie, "the mother of folk," who doesn't let her eighty-six years slow down her fighting spirit; Judy Bonds, a tough-talking coal-miner's daughter; Kathy Mattea, the beloved country singer who believes cooperation is the key to winning the battle; Jack Spadaro, the heroic whistle-blower who has risked everything to share his insider knowledge of federal mining agencies; Larry Bush, who doesn't back down even when speeding coal trucks are used to intimidate him; Denise Giardina, a celebrated writer who ran for governor to bring attention to the issue; and many more.
