Just a friendly reminder of upcoming events: Friday, March 9th, Writers' Night Out will be held at Young Harris College, 7 pm, Wilson Lecture Hall (Goolsby building). The featured poet is Atlanta poet, Rupert Fike. Fike’s collection, Lotus Buffet (Brick Road Poetry Press), has earned him a nomination for Georgia Author of the Year 2011 in poetry.
Two of the poems in the book have also been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Writer Barbara Hamby says, “What happens when you cross a Southern raconteur with a Buddhist monk? You get Rupert Fike’s exhilarating poems.” His work has been published in Rosebud, The Georgetown Review, Natural Bridge, The Atlanta Review, The Cortland Review, storySouth, The Blue Fifth Review and others. He has a poem inscribed in a downtown Atlanta plaza, and his non-fiction work, Voices from The Farm, accounts of life on a spiritual community in the 1970s, is now available in paperback. As usual, open mike will follow after the reading.
Thursday, March 15th, 7:00 pm, John C Campbell Folk School will feature JC Walkup and Glenda Barrett as readers, Keith House. This will be an excellent reading!
Both events are free and open to the public!
