Jim Webb (poet)
Jim Webb, of Whitesburg, Kentucky in Letcher County is an Appalachian poet, playwright, and essayist. He is a founding member of the Appalachian Writers Cooperative 〔(Jim Web Biography, Southern Appalachian Writers Cooperative )〕 and program manager of Appalshop's radio station, WMMT.〔(Colleen Redman, "Writers Swap Poetry at Country Store," ''Floyd Press'', May 1, 2008 )〕
==Wiley Quixote==
Wiley Quixote is Webb's literary creation. Wiley Quixote first appeared as author of the regular newspaper column, "Ridin' Around Listenin' to the Radio..." in pages of the ''Sandy New Era'' in Williamson, West Virginia shortly after the Tug River Valley flooded in April, 1977. Using self-deprecating humor, Webb created an environmentally-aware mountain character with sharp wit, a penchant for puns, and a determination to bring public attention to the adverse effects of strip-mining for coal.
Wiley Quixote was the main character in Webb's comedic play ''Elmo's Haven'' (1979), which illustrated the harsh realities and threats a small community faced at the hands of outsiders (corporate coal interests) and corrupt government officials 〔McCoy, Monica; a review published May 24, 1979 in the ''Sandy New Era''〕
In 1985, Wiley Quixote took to the radio airwaves at WMMT (FM), the radio component of Appalshop. "Ridin' Around Listenin' to the Radio with Wiley Quixote" is still on the air each Wednesday.〔("WMMT Programmers: Jim Webb, Appalshop website )〕
