Interview

Interview with poet Frank X Walker on the expanded edition of Buffalo Dance: The Journey of York

It has always troubled me a bit that the book was more popular out west than in Kentucky. I fear that people don’t think of it as a Kentucky story, although nine young men from Kentucky along with York and Clark all joined the expedition at the Falls of the Ohio.

Featured Artist

The artist's photographic and written work focuses on family history, coal, Appalachia, the queer “female” gaze, the butch body, and queer chosen families.
