AN EVENING WITH SILAS HOUSE

The Frazier History Museum hosted An Evening with Kentucky Poet Laureate Silas House. House stands out as one of the most influential voices in Southern literature through his body of work. As a New York Times bestselling author and a Grammy finalist, he also holds the prestigious position of Kentucky’s current poet laureate. His formative years in a working-class environment and strong ties to Appalachia have deeply influenced his perspective. Despite the challenges he faced as a gay man, Silas House remains a passionate advocate for the state of Kentucky.
