These three separate collections of poems - Conley Bottom: A Poemoir, Mill Springs, and Monticello - form a triadic reflection of events that highlight a relationship with South Central Kentucky. Down Along Highway 90 goes back to Wayne County to gather the meaning of growing up in a transformative time when no one expected anyone to transform. In Conley Bottom: A Poemoir, the reader is taken back on excursions to Lake Cumberland where locals gathered with styrofoam coolers and blow-up floatables to escape the summer heat, (but couldn't escape Ohio vacationers!). Mill Springs examines the historical events of a place and links the residual impacts of the past to a present family's lives - as the future waits. And Monticello captures the progression of a town that never expected to grow, change, or lose its identity even though every town knows better. These three collected collections take the reader on a trip through history, meaning, and insights into what it meant to grow up Down Along Highway 90.
Author Biography
When Ben White was serving his 22-year military career in the U.S. Army and the U.S. Coast Guard, and then again when he was earning his MFA from the University of Tampa, he thought he was a poet. Silly Ben - despite his books earning some recognition, he is not a poet. He is a witness. What he writes is testimony.
