Join us for a talk by award-winning poet, author and professor Crystal Wilkinson on her latest book, “Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts: Stories and Recipes from Five Generations of Black Country Cooks,” a lyrical culinary journey that explores the hidden legacy of Black Appalachians through powerful storytelling alongside nearly 40 comforting recipes. Part memoir, part cookbook, it presents a culinary portrait of a family that has lived and worked the earth of the mountains for over a century. Wilkinson, a former poet laureate of Kentucky, is the Bush-Holbrook Professor in Creative Writing at the University of Kentucky.

The Carole Weinstein Author Series supports the literary arts by bringing both new and well-known authors to the Library of Virginia through online or in-person events. Free and open to the public, the series focuses on Virginia authors and Virginia subjects across all genres.

A book signing will follow the talk. This book will be available at the Virginia Shop.
