Coffee with the Poets and
Writers will meet June 21, 2017, 10:30 AM at Moss Memorial Library in Hayesville, NC.
Staci Lynn Bell and Joan Howard will be featured members this month.
Staci Lynn Bell, a Chicago native, has lived in Western North Carolina for
the past 6 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 recognition as
a 25 year radio and television personality and animal advocate. She has
been published in Wild Goose Poetry Review, 234 Journal, Old Mountain Press
Anthologies and in Kakalak 2016. Bell has both a poem and short story in Wolf
Warriors: The National Wolfwatcher Coalition Anthology. Staci is a member of
the NCWN.
Joan M. Howard lives in Hiawassee and in Athens, Georgia. Joan loves to
kayak on Lake Chatuge and take long walks on the Chatuge Dam. She holds a BA
from Indiana University and an MA from the University of Oregon. Her poems
have been widely published in journals and anthologies. She published a
poetry collection recently, Death and Empathy: My Sister Web, which is
in memory of her sister, Webster and her husband Jack.
It has been said that, “Howard’s
poetry will not only make you ache for something or someone lost; it will
stitch together a broken heart.”
The public is invited to attend
Coffee with the Poets and Writers. Everyone is invited to take part in Open Mic
and read a poem or short piece of prose.
This event is sponsored by the
North Carolina Writers’ Network West, a program of the state literary
organization, North Carolina Writers’ Network.
