A Way Belated Thanks to Quail Ridge Books, Raleigh, NC

I forgot to mention this here in the craziness of my move to the DC metro area that was going on at the time-but I had a great time meeting and reading with Janet Joyner and Sara Claytor (who I met at an earlier reading back in '16.) Thanks so much to Grace Ocasio (http://www.blazevox.org/index.php/Sho...) for making the introduction and to Quail Ridge for having me.

Sara Claytor, Cedric Tillman & Janet Joyner - An Afternoon of NC Poets

Our Sundry Poets program presents a trio of talented NC poets on Sunday, Dec. 4, at 2 pm. Carrboro's Sara Claytor, author of Memory Bones, shares from her latest, Waiting on Unknown Roads.

Cedric Tillman shares Lilies in the Valley. “Cedric Tillman’s poems are straightforward and full of rich details. These poems unfold with rhythm and resonate with remembering; they have much emotional appeal, depicting pop culture, family life, blues, violence, love, religion and history. Lilies In The Valley is a serious and daring book.”–Lenard D. Moore, author of Forever Home.

Winston-Salem's Janet Joyner presents Waterborne, winner of the 2015 Holland Prize. "Janet Joyner, in these powerful, musically sensuous poems, reaches into our innermost hearts; and as a result we are, I think, both deeper and more honest than we were before." - Anthony Abbott (The Angel Dialogues).

Our moderator is Jo Taylor.
