Staci Lynn Bell of Clay County, published poet and essayist, is featured this month. Bell, a Chicago native, has lived in Western North Carolina for the past 5 years. Having moved many times as a child, her best friends were her imagination, books and animals. Staci attended University of Wisconsin, Madison majoring in Communications. She relocated to SW Florida, gaining notoriety as a 25 year radio and television personality and animal advocate. She has been published in Wild Goose Poetry Review, 234 Journal and has both a poem and short story in the forthcoming second annual “Wolf Warriors: The National Wolfwatcher Coalition Anthology.” Staci is a member of North Carolina Writer's Network West (NCWN-West).
All writers are invited to bring a couple of poems or a short story or personal essay, no more than 1200 words, to share at Open Mic. The poets and writers invite the community to attend and enjoy the readings. There is no charge. Social time after the meeting is often continued by going to lunch at a nearby restaurant. Visitors are welcome.
NCWN-West, a program of the North Carolina Writers’ Network is a non-profit organization and appreciates the hospitality of the Moss Library staff. For more information, contact Glenda Beall, 828-389-4441 or glendabeall@msn.com .
