Greetings.
Did you know that there are three literary journals produced by
the University of Kentucky or University of Kentucky faculty members?
Shale was originally founded under the name The Cat's
Figment as a Jury Project for the fellow under the Gaines
Center for the Humanities. Since its inception, it has been run by a Gaines
fellow, who continually updates and expands the reach of the journal to include
more and more of the undergraduate creative writing community. In 2011,The
Cat's Figment was renamed Shale as a nod of respect and admiration for the
graduate literary journal, Limestone.
pluck! Journal of Affrilachian Arts and Culture is a bi-annual
publication released in the Spring and Fall. pluck! celebrates
outstanding contemporary literature, feature images, essays and articles from
voices of color from the states touched by the Appalachians (Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio,
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania).
Limestone showcases original and imaginative writing and art by
residents of the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky and from across the nation. We
are a venue that promotes new and innovative creative writing.
Please
review the submission policies and consider submitting some of your creative
work. If you know of any other literary journals that you think the class
members should know about, please post them here.
