Wednesday was our last time to meet at Phillips and Lloyd Books in Hayesville. Elizabeth Rybicki, who has graciously hosted us at the Dessertery in her store, is remodeling and bringing in the Yarn Shop as part of her store now. Our last day was memorable and who better to end our stint at the book store than Brenda Kay Ledford. She not only shared work from Simplicity, her collabration with her mother, Blanche Ledford, but she played harmonica as part of her presentation. Once again, Brenda surprised us with another facet of her various abilities. Bob Grove (above) read a piece from his yet to be published memoir. Karen Holmes (above) read one of her poems. Karen also shared with us the delightful time she had at the Gathering of Poets last weekend.
I will really miss having Coffee With the Poets at Phillips & Lloyd Book Shop. I really appreciate Elizabeth and Joe allowing Netwest to meet here for three years. It's been great and I shall always remember the great times we poets had assembling at this wonderful book shop. Thanks to Glenda Beall, our coordinator who made this possible.
