Poets of Kentucky: Silas House | Kentucky Life | KET

National poetry month is a celebration of poetry that occurs every April and it is my belief that some of the best poetry in the world originates right here in our beautiful commonwealth. That’s why this month we’ll be bringing you a series of stories about Kentucky based poets, starting with this one about our most recent Poet Laureate: Silas House. Born in Corbin, House still calls Kentucky home to this day. He was honored with the Poet Laureate position in 2023 and has been a powerful figure in promoting what makes Kentucky such a special place. Let’s learn a little bit more about House in the first edition of, “Poets of Kentucky”.
