Morehead State Public Radio (WMKY/90.3FM) will present a program showcasing Kentucky writers.
The Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame announced the 2015 Hall of Fame class at an induction ceremony on Jan. 28 at the Carnegie Center in Lexington (KY). This is the third class to be inducted.
MSPR will air a program showcasing the introductions and readings as recorded from that evening. The broadcast will be at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 24 and at Noon on Memorial Day.
The 2015 Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame class includes: Wendell Berry, Guy Davenport, Elizabeth Hardwick, Jim Wayne Miller, Effie Waller Smith, and Hunter S. Thompson.
The Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame was created to recognize Kentucky writers whose work reflects the character and culture of our commonwealth, and to educate Kentuckians about our state’s rich literary heritage. For a writer to have been eligible this year, he/she must be 1) deceased (excluding one living writer); 2) published; 3) someone whose writing is of enduring stature; and 4) someone connected in a significant way to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
The ceremony was recorded and produced for broadcast by WUKY.
