Thanks for writing about The Between Week Comments re article 87798 The Whitehurst Diaries The Between Week I am an admirer of the many writers and photographers who share their wealth of talent on Columbiamagazine.com, including Sharon Whitehurst and her word pictures created in this story of The Between Week. I wonder about, and hope to see more writing in future on the 'small New England hamlet' noted in mentions of the growing up years, the time before coming to south central Kentucky. I'd like to know more of the differences and more on the similarities between the two regions of this great country. 2017-01-01 10:12:22 | Comments | Printable version

Click on headline for complete Chapter IV with photo(s) NEXT EARLIER CHAPTER: Kentucky Color: Lucy Clark Demumbrunn Chapter III By Billy Joe Fudge From all accounts available to me, I can safely surmise that Lucy Clark Demumbrunn, my Great-Great Grandmother was a kinetic force of gracious acts of charity and community activism.

Poetry by Robert Stone: Shaped but not set free Shaped but not set free: a sonnet for the birthday of Lisa Comperry, 31 Dec 2016 In this my former home the pieces seem almost but not the same as once they were, some lost and some forgotten, some but dream first-rate advisor taught me to defer. In this my current house the fragments lay in wait with infinite forbearance calm, some soft and some sharp-edged, some work, some play, and each approaching deadline gives me qualm. In this my future place mosaic chips are fitting image that will stop escape, some tried and tossed, some permanent firm grips, at last conforming to determined shape. In these adventures arching over me both storm and peace have formed but not set free. ~ Robert Stone, 31 December 2016 2017-01-01 02:47:08 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Poetry by Robert Stone
