Synopsis

The shared mission of this book project is to pictorially represent the unique culture of our commonwealth and to provide a means for sharing it with future generations. Those who have been privileged to live in Kentucky, even briefly, come to share the state of mind of the poet - "in my flesh and bone since I am Kentucky and Kentucky is part of me." We are proud to present This is Kentucky: Keepsake Images of the Bluegrass State. ---- "Kentucky is my land. It is a place beneath the wind and sun in the very heart of America. I take with me Kentucky embedded in my brain and heart, in my flesh and bone and blood since I am Kentucky and Kentucky is part of me." -Jesse Stuart, Kentucky Poet Laureate 1954-1984. These opening lines of Jesse Stuart's poem, Kentucky is My Land, describe what many native-born and transplanted Kentuckians feel is the rightful place. They have endeavored to locate the most creative work of some of Kentucky's top photographers, some of whom are current or former staff members of these award-winning newspapers.
