Bards of the Bluegrass gathers 200 poems by ten Kentucky poets whose work helped define the Commonwealth’s literary heritage. Spanning the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this anthology brings together Forceythe Willson, Theodore O’Hara, Joseph S. Cotter, Robert Burns Wilson, Effie Waller Smith, Cale Young Rice, Madison Cawein, Margaret Steele Anderson, Joseph Seamon Cotter, Jr., and Elizabeth Madox Roberts. Their poems range across nature, war, love, loss, faith, myth, home, and the changing American landscape. Together, they reveal a Kentucky tradition at once rooted in place and engaged with the wider human experience. Carefully prepared from historic sources, this accessible new edition returns long-unavailable poetry to readers. Whether Kentucky is your birthplace, your adopted home, or simply a place that speaks to your imagination, Bards of the Bluegrass offers an enduring chorus of voices from the heart of the Commonwealth.
