About the Author
Steven R. Cope has taught literature and writing at Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University, and the University of Kentucky. His work has appeared in over 200 magazines and journals across the country, winning prizes or awards from The Kentucky Arts Council, The Academy of American Poets, Borestone Mountain, and others. Though Cope's themes are far-reaching, he has always maintained, stylistically and otherwise, a conscious independence both inspired and nurtured by his Eastern Kentucky Appalachian heritage. His poems have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and twice been anthologized in Best Poems of the Year. He served a two-year term as co-editor/publisher of Wind Magazine. In 1995, after leaving academia, he returned to music, began teaching guitar, signed with BMI, and wrote and produced singer Star Johnson's album Judas-Tree Ridge which won Airplay International's Trailblazer Award in 1999.
Cope has published two chapbooks of poems, "demi-poems" (1994) and "The Year of Mahler's 9th" (2002) and the full-length collection, "In Killdeer's Field" (2002). Cope is also the author of "The Book of Saws--Fables and Tales" and "Sassafras--a novel of Appalachia" (2002), and a book of guitar instruction "School of the Guitar" (1995). In 2003 Cope and Bill Kennon released a music CD titled "Standin' Right Here."
From the Inside Flap
"Steve Cope, the poet, the fiction writer, the musician, the song writer--and now Steve Cope the fabulist. Imagine Aesop, Chaucer, and Boccaccio with a contemporary twist--indeed there's enough in The Book of Saws to delight all ages. This is my favorite Steve Cope work--his reach and versatility are amazing!"
Jeff Daniel Marion "At once witty and wise, classic and refreshing, The Book of Saws by Steven Cope, exposes the absurdity of human pretensions. With this fabulist's light touch, he offers deep truths and helps us laugh at ourselves."
George Ella Lyon "Droll, pungent, quirky, disarming, irreverent, feisty, fun . . . What more can I say? A most engaging little book."
Ed McClanahan
