Janisse Ray, Memoirist and Poet, visits City Lights Bookstore

Wednesday September 28th at 1 p.m.


Janisse Ray will be at City Lights Bookstore Wednesday, September 28th at
1 p.m. to read from two of her most recent books. Drifting into Darien: A Personal and Natural History of the Altamaha River is a memoir and as in her groundbreaking Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, Ray writes an account of her beloved river that is both social history and natural history, understanding the two as inseparable, particularly in the rural corner of Georgia that she knows best. Ray goes looking for wisdom and finds a river.

A House of Branches is her most recent poetry collection and of the book Kathryn Byer says: "These poems are about waking up, looking around at the world, and discovering how to live within it... how to gather and cherish the things of this world.

City Lights Bookstore is located at 3 E. Jackson St., Sylva, NC 28779
