The InKY Reading Series is a monthly literary and music event held on the second Friday of the month at the Rudyard Kipling in Louisville, Kentucky.
InKY (like Rorschach? like the smudgy blots southpaws get when they write?) is grounded in the Kentuckiana region, that weird space where the South and Midwest collide, where voices are tinged with bourbon and Pabst Blue Ribbon, and where strip malls are just as sacred as coal mines.
Our mission is to promote excellent literature through live performances by established and emerging writers from the Kentuckiana region and beyond. We showcase accomplished, published career poets and writers as well as up-and-coming talent through an ecumenical approach to style, genre, and affiliation. We're also proud to showcase Louisville-area independent musicians, and are always looking for performers to feature on our stage.
