The Book of Kentucky was an artistic venture intended to capture a moment in Kentucky literary history. It was edited by Kent Fielding and D.S. Poorman. Specifically, it is an 11" x 17" rusted steel book filled with sixty pages of card-stock linen paper, crafted by metal artist Joe Werth. It is clear coated, double-hinged and weighs more than fifteen pounds. Each page is dedicated to a different living Kentucky writer.
