| Summary, Etc. |
"A Pencil Grows in Kentucky brings together creative writing lessons, Appalachian history, and powerful poetry to celebrate the voices of young women from Kentucky. In a groundbreaking program Appalachia Girl Dreaming, seventy young women participated in a one-of-a-kind creative writing workshop. They were guided by lessons in listening, stories of Appalachian women writers and trailblazers, and insights into the craft of poetry. The students wrote their own poems and worked with an editor toward the exciting goal of seeing their work in print. Inside you'll discover: Biographies of seven influential Kentucky Appalachian women writers; Teaching strategies to spark creativity and foster a positive writing mindset in students; An anthology of original poetry written by the students themselves--poems that reveal courage and imagination rooted in Appalachia. Whether you are a teacher, writer, poet, or reader who loves Appalachian literature, women's studies, or student poetry anthologies, this book offers both guidance and inspiration. Step inside--and discover the magic of what happens when young women pick up a pencil and re-imagine their world."-- Amazon website.
