Mark your calendars to hear from New York Times bestselling author and Kentucky’s current poet laureate Silas House.

Among many other accolades, House received the 2022 Duggins Prize, the largest award in America for LGBTQ writers. The same year, he was named Appalachian of the Year.
His most recent book, Lark Ascending, is set in the near future as a young man, Lark, attempts to flee the United States as fires spread across the country.
The Carrico/Fort Thomas Branch will close early at 5 pm to set up for the event.
