Beginner's Guide to the Affrilachian Poets I arrived at the University of Kentucky unaware of a lot. That's to be expected of an 18 year old.

Last week we celebrated the 35th Anniversary of the Affrilachian #Poets with a reading at Transylvania University. It’s a good time to share my Beginner’s Guide to the APs. Grab some poetry from our collective born out of an affirmation of black voices in #Appalachia.
