Pack Memorial Library
Celebrate National Poetry Month with Buncombe County Special Collections and local novelist and poet Wayne Caldwell. Caldwell has crafted a poetry collection that renders the experience of living life in a single, exquisite place in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina in his book, “Woodsmoke.”
Join Wayne for a 90-minute virtual poetry class, in which he discusses turning our internal musings into detailed portraits of the homeplace and landscapes we love. He discusses how to use sensory detail to transport readers to that specific place and time, just as his fictional poet, Posey Green, put his readers “in the shadow of the mountain my father said was mother to us all.”
This event will be held virtually over Zoom. All participants must register at the link below:
