Michael Beadle performs his poetry at John Campbell Folk School March 19


One of the brightest poets on the horizon is Michael Beadle who lives in Canton, NC. He is a performance poet, and he teaches poetry workshops across North Carolina, mostly with students but also with adults.

We are delighted Michael sent a few poems for the Netwest blog. He tells about them in the following words.
"A Town Too Small For Maps" describes the small town in Eastern NorthCarolina where I grew up. "Morning at Fontana Lake" is an imagist poem about an unforgettable early morning scene I once beheld while staying at a mountain cabin near Fontana Lake. "A Town Too Small For Maps" won 1st place in a writing contest last year at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial. It was also chosen by Kay Byer for the "Poet of the Week" feature on http://www.ncarts.com/ .
