The Kansas Notable Books List is the annual recognition of 15 outstanding titles either written by Kansans or about a Kansas related topic. The Kansas Notable Book List highlights our lively contemporary writing community and encourages readers to enjoy some of the best writing of the authors among us.
H.C. Palmer-Feet of the Messenger: Poems by H.C. Palmer (Lenexa), BkMk Press Books
Between the horrors of the Vietnam War and the pacific silences of the Kansas prairie, these poems honor both the beauty of the English language and the ancient powers of poetry to speak experience without diminishing it.
Maril Crabtree-Fireflies in the Gathering Dark: Poems by Maril Crabtree (Mission), Aldrich Press
These poems traverse landscapes, inner and outer: physical landscapes and metaphysical ones; the landscape of relationships; the landscape of age, from childhood to maturity; and the questing landscape that leads to new understandings.
The 8th Annual Kansas Book Festival is scheduled for Saturday, September 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kansas State Capitol. The presenting authors will be inside the Capitol building, and our vendors/entertainment/children’s activities/book signings will be set up outside the Capitol, on the North side by the new Visitor’s Center.
