Celebrating Ashland Authors this Poetry Month

It’s poetry month, so it seems like a good time to celebrate Ashland authors. Here is list of nearly 200 of them, It’s a first-pass, work in progress, hopefully to be updated, revised, corrected, and expanded periodically. (any students need a project).

I’ve marked SOU faculty with a ֎ and designated those who have passed with a , and I’ve left in authors who have since left Ashland for other cities. I’ve included SOU and Ashland High alums. Feel free to reach out with suggestions, corrections, etc.
