This week, we lost a novelist, poet, essayist, environmental activist, cultural critic, agrarian, farmer, and one of the favorite sons of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Wendell Berry leaves behind a legacy of wisdom in essays like 'The Gift of Good Land' and 'The Unsettling of America.' He also wrote of culture and the economy of rural communities in the novels and stories such as 'A Place on Earth,' 'Jayber Crow,' and 'That Distant Land.'

“Farmers begin with a vision of perfection. Every year in the course of the seasons and the work, this vision is relentlessly whittled down to a real result by human frailty and fallibility, by the mortality of creatures, by pests and diseases, by the weather. The crop year is a long struggle ended not invariably by the desired perfection, but by the need to accept something less than perfection as the best that could be done.”

Did we miss celebrating the publication date of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Fellowship of the Ring' in 1954? We did not, because a printer is never late. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

Happy 250th, America! There is a lot of lore surrounding the Independence Day holiday. Never let facts get in the way of a good story, right? Let's do a deeper dive into the actual timeline.

John Trumbull's painting 'Declaration of Independence' is almost a complete fabrication, featuring men whom Trumbull had no references for their likeness. The men pictured were never in the same room together, and not all the signers are represented. Several participants in the debate did not sign the document. The painting, instead, features the 5-man drafting committee and would've taken place at the end of June 1776.

The Declaration was voted on on July SECOND, 1776, and the signing of the document took place later—largely on August 2nd.

So why do we choose to celebrate on July 4th? Because on that day, the final document was approved, and the text rushed to John Dunlap's Print Shop. Workers ran the presses all night long, printing roughly 200 broadsides to distribute throughout the ̶c̶o̶l̶o̶n̶i̶e̶s̶ brand new nation.

Kingery Printing Company offices will be closed Friday, July 3 in observance of the holiday. Everyone have a safe and happy holiday weekend.

Happy birthday, Mr. Lincoln!

This lithograph was created by lithographer Leopold Grozelier (1830-1865) from the painting by Thomas Hicks (1823-1890). This image was created in 1860, before Lincoln grew his iconic beard.

William S. Burroughs was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on this day in 1914. The non-conformist, experimental novelist explored many lifestyles before publishing his seminal work, 'Naked Lunch.' After spending time at Harvard and with friends from Columbia, Burroughs entered the New York gangster underworld, beginning hard drug use. He did not write seriously until his early 30s. A series of terrible decisions and tragedy led to the publication of Naked Lunch—pursued by the law, Burroughs and common-law wife Joan Vollmer Adams fled Texas to Mexico. In Mexico, Burroughs shot and killed Adams trying to show off his marksmanship to friends. He had her stand with a glass bottle on her head, in an appalling and fatal "William Tell" stunt.
Burroughs gave up the son he had fathered, going on the lam to South America, and finally Tangier. Kerouac joined Burroughs in northern Africa, reviewing the stories Burroughs had been writing. Kerouac and Ginsberg helped to type the stories, suggesting a name for the project: ‘Naked Lunch.’
Burroughs would go on to be regarded as a troubled and polarizing genius of the Beat Generation. Well-earned outcry from women's groups did not stop his influence on literature and larger pop culture. Steely Dan took their names from Burroughs’ writings, and he even recorded an album with Kurt Cobain in 1992. Cobain played guitar over Burroughs’ spoken voice.
