JSF’s new hardback book provides Journey into the Life of Jesse Hilton Stuart
The JSF is pleased to announce the publication of Kentucky Is My Home: A Journey into the Life of Jesse Hilton Stuart, a collection of never before published Stuart poetry compiled, edited, and introduced by Lexington author John W. McCauley.
McCauley writes, “The former Kentucky Poet Laureate was a pure and unfiltered artist of the written word, and while I love all genres of Stuart’s work, his Appalachian inspired poetry has always been my favorite.”
