And tucked among May’s top reads is one of my cornerstone pieces, quietly doing its faithful work in the background.

This month’s Top 10 is a blend of critique, courage, creativity, Kentucky history, grammar, and a deeply moving film review that rounds out the list with heart. If you missed any of these along the way, consider this your personal highlight reel.
