In honor of National Poetry Day, an excerpt from Jesse Stuart’s “Kentucky Is My Land.”

“Kentucky is my land. It is a place beneath the wind and sun In the very heart of America. It is bounded on the east, north, and west by rivers And on the south by mountains. Only one boundary line is not a natural one, It is a portion of southern boundary That runs westward from the mountains Across the delta lowlands to the Mississippi.

Within these natural boundaries is Kentucky, Shaped like the mouldboard on a hillside turning-plow. Kentucky is neither southern, northern, eastern, nor western, It is the core of America. If these United States could be called a body, Kentucky can be called its heart.”

So I can have a second “primary” blog, avoid going on a huge unfollowing spree just to see what I really wanna see and most importantly -- post whatever the hell I want.
