Louisville Literary Arts coordinates the InKY Reading Series, Louisville’s oldest independent reading series. Founded in 2004 by poet and Salon editor, Erin Keane, InKY readings are held on the second Friday of the month at the The Bard’s Town restaurant, theater and tavern in Louisville, KY.

​

The InKY Reading series showcases diverse literary voices from the region and the nation. Since our first reading in 2004, we have featured writers from as far as Los Angeles and as close as our own Louisville neighborhoods. Most featured readers have at least one book from a nationally distributed, literary publisher, although we have been pleased to showcase emerging writers. All writers receive an honorarium
