LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 29, 2021) — Luke Glaser was once a struggling math student. Academically, he often excelled. But learning polynomials, as well as quadratic equations and functions, just didn’t seem applicable to his life as a high school teenager.
“I hated math, and I took AP classes to simply not have to take math in college.”
Crystal Wilkinson will be inducted as Kentucky Poet Laureate as part of the Kentucky Writers’ Day celebration. The virtual ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. on April 23 on the Kentucky Arts Council’s Facebook page and YouTube channel.
