Citi of Books is proud to announce the publication of the book “Life Notes by a Kentucky Woman: The Coal Camp” Vol. 1 by Sarah Cornett-Hagen. This inspirational story is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other retail sites.
Sarah Cornett-Hagen, who recently returned to Kentucky from Texas, now resides in Jenkins, Kentucky, only seven miles away from her place of birth in Haymond. Jenkins proudly promotes itself as a town “built from coal” through prominent billboards. Sarah’s cherished abode, Still Point, serves as the inspiration for her rich poetry and introspective philosophical writings. Her keen observations of life’s patterns are evident as she casts a spell of wonder through her heartfelt musings on life. Her latest published work can be found in the anthology “Poetry as Prayer: Appalachian Women Speak” by Wind, while her tribute to Mt. Ashland, titled “Mountain Lady,” is set to be published in “The Rag.” In August 2004, her poem “Blackberry Heaven” was published in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and in 2003, “Colors of Life” captured the essence of Sarah’s uplifting spirit and found a place in the International Library of Poetry.
“Roots of my mountain heritage run deep and the tendrils of these roots are wrapped gently around my heart forever.” – Coal Poet Sarah L. Cornett – Hagen
“Life Notes by a Kentucky Woman: The Coal Camp,” Vol. 1 by Sarah Cornett-Hagen is a memoir reflecting on the author’s own experiences growing up in a coal camp in Kentucky. To stay clean was impossible with the continuous supply of coal dust scattered around. The book offers a vivid portrayal of the author’s life in the coal mining community, including the struggles and resilience of its residents.
The author aims for the readers to explore the everyday challenges of coal camp life, involving economic hardships, social dynamics, and the impact of mining on families and the environment. She gives a detailed picture of her upbringing and the tight-knit community that formed what she is today through observations and personal experiences.
