Richard Taylor, who is a Kenan Visiting Writer at Transylvania University and a former Kentucky poet laureate, has won a Kentucky Historical Society Publication Award for his book \u201cElkhorn: Evolution of a Kentucky Landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will receive the honor during the Kentucky History Awards at the Old Capitol in Frankfort on Friday at 5:30 p.m. Contact Amanda Higgins<\/a> to make a reservation by Thursday at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor lives in a historic home he restored near the banks of Elkhorn Creek, a tributary of the Kentucky River. He writes about an eight-mile stretch of the creek in \u201cElkhorn.\u201d The book, which also received the Thomas D. Clark Medallion, was released in September by the University Press of Kentucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Through the lens of this waterway, Taylor examines the early natural history of the area, Native Americans, local commerce, the Civil War, artist Paul Sawyier and more,” according to the KHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Alvey, the organization’s executive director said, \u201cTaylor deftly uses Elkhorn Creek to tell a much larger story. He is a great storyteller and the history of the creek and his love for the area leaps off of the page. We are proud to recognize him for this great contribution to local history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Taylor’s honor was recently featured<\/a> in the Frankfort State Journal. “The book is a personal response to history,\u201d Taylor told the newspaper. He had been gathering material for it for more than 50 years. \u201cIt is a place of seemingly pristine beauty, unspoiled because its steep slopes make much of it undevelopable,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is a place to restore the soul, as countless others have discovered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor earned a B.A. in English from the University of Kentucky in 1963, an M.A. in English from the University of Louisville in 1964, a J.D. from the U of L School of Law in 1967 and a Ph.D. in English from UK in 1974. His other books include \u201cSue Mundy: A Novel of the Civil War,\u201d \u201cGirty\u201d and \u201cEarth Bones.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
