October 10, 7 p.m. : Women Writers of the Triad Second Saturday Reading at Tate Street Coffee House

Thanks to Melissa Hassard of Women Writers of the Triad for the invite to read at the Second Saturday reading series at Tate Street Coffee House. I'll be reading with poet Bianca Diaz, the author of a chapbook entitled No One Says Kin Anymore, which won the Robert Watson Poetry Award (Spring Garden Press, 2009). Her work has twice been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and for the Best of the Net Anthology. Recent poems appear in San Pedro River Review, One, Lindenwood Review, Mount Hope, Border Crossing, Naugatuck River Review, and Redheaded Stepchild. She earned an MFA from George Mason University and is originally from Miami, FL. She now lives in Durham, NC, where she teaches high school English.

Here is a older review of her work:

Review: Lilies In The Valley

A review of Lilies, by poet and teacher Joseph Ross. I am thankful to Joseph for his kindness in picking up the book and taking the time.

"Cedric Tillman’s poetry collection Lilies in the Valley has vision and faith. It looks and believes. These poems look deeply into human concerns with vivid details and rich, sometimes amusing descriptions. What they always do, for me, is draw me to look deeply at my own life. Tillman explores our various identities as family members, citizens, and people of varying levels of faith. The beauty of the poems is so strong it invites us all to the same exploration. For this, we can be grateful to Cedric Tillman and to Willow Books for getting these fine poems into our hands. I’ve been enjoying this collection for a few months now and I know I will return to it again and again..."
