“We ran out of time,” said Jamey Temple, assistant professor at the University of the Cumberlands, when asked why the publication didn’t reach the hands of student last year. “Pensworth” is scheduled to be published once each school year, and always in the spring semester. “Regrettably, we couldn’t get it out in time then.”
"Pensworth" is a blessings to students of creative writing, as it provides them with an opportunity to submit and publish their works locally before branching out into bigger publications. It also gives them the chance to read the works of other aspiring writers.

Temple is one of two faculty members who are primarily responsible for handling submission, publication, and distribution responsibilities for “Pensworth,” along with several selected graduate and undergraduate students. Under their collective supervision, the 2012 edition of “Pensworth” will see a successful release.
Since its first issue in 1985 and its revival in a “New Series” in 2003, “Pensworth” has provided an outlet for students’ creative work by publishing original poetry, fiction, personal essays, photography, and artwork. It is published once annually. Submissions are accepted in the fall semester, and selection and publication work begins in the spring semester.
University of the Cumberlands is located in Williamsburg, KY on a campus that spans approximately 70 acres and includes 34 buildings and 2 sports field complexes. Here, approximately 3,300 students choose from over 40 different majors, minors, and pre-professional programs, all while developing leadership skills through a Leadership/Community Service Program. The University of the Cumberlands boasts a student to faculty ratio of 15 to 1.
