Creative Lexington has released a new "snapshot bio" video featuring poet Frank X Walker, a native of Danville and the former poet laureate of Kentucky. A founding member of the Affrilachian Poets and the author of four poetry collections, several of Walker’s poems have been converted to theatrical plays by the University of Kentucky Theatre Department. In this video, he talks about how he acquired the "X" in his name, the process of creating the word "Affrilachia," the potential power of art and more.
