NTRODUCTION clannish fighting people, for its love of swift dance music and love of song. And for my life, I can not look upon Kentucky mountains as only a source of illegitimate news. I look upon these hills as one section of America that has not lost its local color, yet. My ambition has been to sing of my own hill people and not any other group; to portray my people in my songs to as near a likeness as I can possibly portray them. I hope that my first book. MAN WITH A BULL-TONGUE PLOW, will do at least one thing for poets un- born among the hills, and young poets who have just started to sing. I hope they will remain among our own people and sing, not as others would perhaps wish to hear them sing, but sing the songs which are before them to sing, of people living near the earth: of mountain oaks; rocks; people; wild llowers that adorn the rough slopes in the spring; summer; autumn. I hope one book will show them that art is about their feet (if my work can be called art) ; that poems are thicker than dead leaves that cover the Kentucky earth in autumn and that stories are thick as leaves that hang on the boughs when they first start coloring in Autumn. Life in every section has so much to be written and so much to be said. Life is so vast, so wretched, so beautiful. There is so much to life aside from living it. We should put a little of it on paper — the life about our own high country. We should not have the time to traipse here and there to gather life when we have an unsurpassed tradition of story, legend, song, behind us; when we are living on the inside looking out. Why can ' t some of our good dance tunes with the swift music in them be national? Why can ' t the pretty graceful movements in them be made national instead of being butchered and made fun of? Why can ' t youth, middle-aged, and old, write our stories, about us, and sing our songs? I leave this to you. Why do we not as native hill Kentuckians start a tradition of writ- ing to be handed down through generations?
