Steve Provizer on "Yves Montand: The Passionate Voice" (University Press of Kentucky). Singer/actor Montand’s life and career are particularly fascinating because they illuminate a telling difference between the mid-20th century political-cultural milieus of France and America.

Hers is another of the book-length bios I won’t get to before Lupe & Eleanor Powell (but bless University of Kentucky Press for that stack).

David D'Arcy reviews Fuse contributor Gerald Peary's book "Mavericks: Interviews with the World’s Iconoclast Filmmakers" (University Press of Kentucky). New cinematic mavericks have come along. All the more reason that the views of earlier rebels be collected and preserved. artsfuse.org/287119/

I am thrilled to join the crew at University Press of Kentucky.
I've been a fan of Abby Freeland's for a lot of years now and, let's face it, it's pretty humbling to share a publisher with @crystalwilki.bsky.social, Frank X Walker and Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle.
Now I just have to get to WORK.

Here are 4 new or new-to-me books from small presses that I’ve loved this year. And all of these writers are wonderful people! You can get any of these books directly from the source: Sundress, Fireside (University Press of Kentucky), Black Lawrence, and Unicorn Press.
