Pub Date: April 28, 2026

Publisher Marketing: These three separate collections of poems – Conley Bottom: A Poemoir, Mill Springs, and Monticello – form a triadic reflection of events that highlight a relationship with South Central Kentucky. Down Along Highway 90 goes back to Wayne County to gather the meaning of growing up in a transformative time when no one expected anyone to transform. In Conley Bottom: A Poemoir, the reader is taken back on excursions to Lake Cumberland where locals gathered with styrofoam coolers and blow-up floatables to escape the summer heat, (but couldn’t escape Ohio vacationers!). Mill Springs examines the historical events of a place and links the residual impacts of the past to a present family’s lives – as the future waits. And Monticello captures the progression of a town that never expected to grow, change, or lose its identity even though every town knows better. These three collected collections take the reader on a trip through history, meaning, and insights into what it meant to grow up Down Along Highway 90.
