Art is subjective, yes, but some eyes see better than others. Join writer and social critic, Camille Paglia, at the Louisville Free Public Library’s Main branch this Monday, October 22nd, as she discusses themes in Western art with her new book ‘Glittering Images’.
I do not consider myself an artist. I find that I sound incredibly silly when I’ve introduced myself as such in the past. People can see the lie spreading across my face as the words tumble out of my mouth and puddle on the floor in confusion between us. It’s just not...

Re-telling the haunting true story of her great-grandfather’s life in slavery, author Judith C. Owens-Lalude brings her novel, ‘The Long Walk: From Slavery to Freedom’, to Carmichael’s Bookstore this Sunday, October 21st at 4pm.

The best-selling author of ‘Matterhorn’, Karl Marlantes now brings his latest release exploring the world of combat to Carmichael’s Bookstore. Join him tomorrow night, Friday October 19th, for a presentation of ‘What It is Like to Go to War’ starting at 7pm.
War is something that needs no elaboration. Or, at the least, very little commentary from my snarky tongue. It’s a small word, one that rather just slides out of the mouth, very final and straightforward – like shutting a lid or closing a door. There is nothing fussy...

Join state historian, James Klotter, as he speaks on the history of central Kentucky, and presents the rich culture of the region with his new book, ‘Bluegrass Renaissance’. Catch him this Thursday, October 18th, at 6pm at The Filson Historical Society.
I’m tired. With perhaps a little more nuance than usual, my friends. This woman’s heart is a landscape of potholes at the moment, and I feel like a lonely body eclipsed by a gray, lunar surface whenever it beats. It’s getting bad, kids. Real, real bad....
