"What Comes Down to Us unites twenty-five of Kentucky's most accomplished contemporary poets in an impressive collection that includes emerging writers as well as such familiar names as Wendell Berry, Frank X Walker, James Baker Hall, Jane Gentry, and George Ella Lyon. Whether they are transplants from other parts of the country or homegrown in the Bluegrass State, all identify themselves as Kentucky poets. Collectively, their work represents the diversity and vitality of modern verse in the commonwealth."--Book jacket.
