POETS AND WRITERS READING POEMS AND STORIES
Deep in the Southern Appalachian Mountains on the evening of March 16, 2016, NCWN West poets and writers gathered at John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown,NC for their monthly public reading. Featured writers were poet Glenda Barrett of Hiawassee, Georgia and fiction writer Bob Groves of Brasstown. Others attending were the school students, especially those taking a weekly writing course and other classes, along with a number of local writers who often visit the school. Lucy Cole Gratton is the NCWN West Coordinator for this event. A highlight of the evening was seeing and visiting with our long time writing friend Darnell Arnoult, the visiting writing instructor.

Nancy, I don't know why you posted my photo, but am happy to be in such company!
Hello Maren, I came without my camera and I enjoyed the evening so much,I simply had to celebrate poetry and all of us in some way. I hope to see more of you as the year goes by.
Wish I could have been there. I haven't seen Darnell in a long time. I always liked her and loved her classes. Glenda Barrett is one of my very favorite poets. I know it was a nice evening.
I am celebrating Poetry Month on my Writers Circle blog this month. Visit me there.
