Download or read book Everything Begins Ends at the Kentucky Club written by Benjamin Alire Sáenz and published by Cinco Puntos Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2013 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction Benjamin Alire S enz's stories reveal how all borders--real, imagined, sexual, human, the line between dark and light, addict and straight--entangle those who live on either side. Take, for instance, the Kentucky Club on Avenida Ju rez two blocks south of the Rio Grande. It's a touchstone for each of S enz's stories. His characters walk by, they might go in for a drink or to score, or they might just stay there for a while and let their story be told. S enz knows that the Kentucky Club, like special watering holes in all cities, is the contrary to borders. It welcomes Spanish and English, Mexicans and gringos, poor and rich, gay and straight, drug addicts and drunks, laughter and sadness, and even despair. It's a place of rich history and good drinks and cold beer and a long polished mahogany bar. Some days it smells like piss. "I'm going home to the other side." That's a strange statement, but you hear it all the time at the Kentucky Club. Benjamin Alire S enz is a highly regarded writer of fiction, poetry, and children's literature. Like these stories, his writing crosses borders and lands in our collective psyche. Poets & Writers Magazine named him one of the fifty most inspiring writers in the world. He's been a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and PEN Center's prestigious award for young adult fiction. S enz is the chair of the creative writing department of University of Texas at El Paso. Awards: PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction Lambda Literary Award Southwest Book Award

Add college basketball to that list, and you have yourself a superfecta. Looking beyond these time-honored traditions, however, visitors will find in Kentucky a diverse patchwork of faces and places, each as unique as the state's geography. Kentucky, Y'all: A Celebration of the People and Culture of the Bluegrass State is an entertaining and informative compilation of the state's favorite oddities, cultural quirks, traditions, and rites of passage. Authors and proud Kentuckians Blair Thomas Hess and Cameron M. Ludwick share the best stories from their experiences as writers, travelers, and residents in this ode to the Commonwealth. From the iconic to the obscure, the book reveals vital knowledge that every Kentuckian—whether by birth, residence, or simply in mind and heart—should know. What is beer cheese? Who was Bill Monroe? Where can you get a hemp hot dog? Readers are introduced to the brilliant minds behind the Louisville Slugger, the Bowie knife, and pioneering work in genetics. The book also includes a handy list of dos and don'ts of tailgating, a Kentucky sayings glossary, and bucket lists of things to do, drink, read, and eat. Featuring hand-drawn illustrations that represent life, fashion, and entertainment in the Commonwealth, Kentucky, Y'all is an insightful and exuberant guide to the Bluegrass State—for Kentucky natives and visitors alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from All That's Kentucky: An Anthology SO far as the compiler knows, there has appeared, heretofore, no volume Of verse Of this sort. Just why, he knows not. Certainly the field has been most fertile, for a long, long time, in both prose and verse. It has been seen fit to insert here and there in this volume a few prose sentiments, which, it is hoped, may add to the sentiment Of the book as a whole. It will also be noticed that Madison Cawein has been quoted rather copiously. If any apology' should seem necessary, it would be that the deceased Louisville man stands out pre-eminently as one Of the greatest poets Of the Western world. Keen regret is felt that certain literary men Of Louisville have failed to consider the undertaking worth while.

With mountain glen and field and fen, And oaks that blend with rhodondend'; With waterfalls and bobwhite calls, And column'd hall with whited walls--I love you best! Kentucky! Fair Kentucky! With pastures green as eye hath seen, And limpid stream that runs between The arching hill and water mill, There standing still, its years to fill--My love's fair dream! Kentucky! My Kentucky! With sons as great as any State, It is thy fate of yore and late To give thy best unto the West, While in the rest thyself art blessed--Thou mother great! Kentucky! Dear Kentucky! I sing thy worth, State of my birth, And boyhood mirth! O sacred earth! The hills I've trod--so help me, God!--Beneath thy sod and goldenrod I'll sleep at last.--Ulysses Grant Foote. FEUD TIME IN KENTUCKY When the dew is on the mountain And the corn is in the still--When the feudist stalks the feudist Through the valley, o'er the hill--When the red is on the forest And the amber's in the wine--When the autumn vespers whisper Through the forest leaf and pine--Through the mountains of Kentucky There's a man behind each rock, With his finger on the trigger And his cheek against the stock. When the bead is on the moonshine, And the summer wanes to fall--Then the feudist takes his rifle From the nail upon the wall; Seeks him out a trusty shelter In the thicket by the road, Puts a funnel in the muzzle, And pours home a heavy load--Oh, the undertaker's busy, When the man behind the rock Gets his finger on the trigger And his face against the stock. When the crack is in the rifle And the smoke is in the blue, There is always something hasty For the coroner to do; All the bards obituary Find a keen demand for verse, And there's grease upon the axle Of the...

Download or read book Kentucky Folkmusic written by Burt Feintuch and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1899, a fundraising program for Berea College featured a group of students from the mountains of eastern Kentucky singing traditional songs from their homes. The audience was entranced. That small en-counter at the end of the last century lies near the beginning of an unparalleled national—and international—fascination with the indigenous music of a single state. Kentucky has long figured prominently in our national sense of traditional music. Over the years, a diverse group of people—reformers, enthusiasts, the musically literate and the musically illiterate, radicals, liberals, a British gentleman and his woman companion, amateurs, local residents, and academics—have been sufficiently captivated by that music to have devoted considerable energy to harvesting it from its fertile ground, studying its various manifestations, and considering its many performers. Kentucky Folkmusic: An Annotated Bibliography is a guide to the literature of this remarkable music. More than seven hundred entries, each with an evaluative annotation, comprise the largest bibliographic resource for the folkmusic of any state or region in North America. Divided into eight sections, the bibliography covers collections and anthologies; fieldworkers and scholars; singers, musicians, and other performers; text-centered studies; studies of history, context, and style; festivals; dance; and discographies, check-lists, and other reference tools. A subject index, an author index, and an index of periodicals provide access to the materials. From early hymnals and songsters to Kentucky performers of traditional music, the bibliography is a comprehensive guide to music which has for many years been one of the major emblems of American traditional music.

This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than sixty percent of emerging infectious diseases that affect humans are caused by zoonotic pathogens. Over the last two centuries, there have been many examples of zoonotic microorganisms that have caused important epidemics or pandemics around the world. However, currently, zoonotic emerging infectious diseases are still or are even a higher threat for global health, including animal, public and environmental health, probably due to factors such as globalization, the increasing temperature of global health, intensive agriculture or industrialization have favored the emergence or re-emerging of these diseases, among many others. Today more than ever, the high interconnection of human, animals and the environment highlights the need of a One Health approach to understand aspects related with the transmission or control of these emerging pathogens. This Research Topic aims to provide a collection of comprehensive articles of different areas of interest such as epidemiology, diagnosis and pathology in infections caused by emerging or re-emerging zoonotic pathogens, including viruses, parasites, and bacteria, in humans, domestic animals and/or wildlife. The major areas to be included regarding emerging or re-emerging zoonoses might be: - Epidemiology, including research on host range, transmission, genetic diversity, prevalence and distribution - Pathology, including clinical signs and lesions caused by the infection of emerging zoonotic pathogens - Diagnosis, including novel techniques of indirect or direct assays as well as novel approaches in the diagnosis of these pathogens. - Control of emerging zoonoses.

Download or read book Hillbilly Elegy written by J. D. Vance and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER IS NOW A MAJOR-MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY RON HOWARD AND STARRING AMY ADAMS, GLENN CLOSE, AND GABRIEL BASSO "You will not read a more important book about America this year."—The Economist "A riveting book."—The Wall Street Journal "Essential reading."—David Brooks, New York Times Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for more than forty years, has been reported with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love,” and moved north from Kentucky’s Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.
