I got to stop by a great little shop in Lexington, Ky over the weekend. Wendell Berry, James Still, Jesse Stuart, Kingsolver, horse racing, and more! I could have spent much longer looking through everything. I picked up a couple books that I’ll highlight in some following posts. Back to TN for me! . . . . . . #blackswanbooks #lexingtonky #ky #rarebooks #kentucky #finebooks #bookcollecting #bookcollection #boookcollector #bookstagram #shelfie #jamesstill #wendellberry #jimwaynemiller #bibliophile #modernfirsteditions #firstedition #bookporn (at Black Swan Books)

Some have called him the father of modern Appalachian literature, James Still’s verse still impacts writers from the region. I think his density of language and deliberate attempts to describe people in environmental terms have been especially impactful.
