In a wonderful
just-published essay about a do-it-yourself book tour early in his career,
Spalding U. prof Kenny Cook tells of unusual audiences for his talks and
readings, ranging from 6th graders in Alabama to prison inmates in
the Texas Panhandle. The prison stop was the tour’s best. It gave Kenny what he
wanted: “to be in a room with people … who needed stories to make sense of, and
to help transform, their lives.” The multi-prizewinning author’s literary
trifecta includes three brilliant books published simultaneously by IceCubePress.com: essays (The Art of
Disobedience), poems (Lost Soliloquies), and stories (Marrying Kind).
