Jackson County Netwest Rep Catherine Carter will launch her third collection of poetry with LSU Press, Larvae of the Nearest Stars, on Wednesday evening, November 13th, at 6:30 pm at City Lights Bookstore in Sylva.
Novelist and poet Ron Rash writes of Larvae, "I've been an admirer of Catherine Carters poetry for over a decade,
but this collection achieves a whole new level with its craft, vision,
and urgency. Larvae of the Nearest Stars makes clear that she is
one of our countrys finest poets, and her book deserves a place on the
same shelf as collections by Mary Oliver and Wendell Berry. 'I will not
cease telling,' Carter tells us in the final poem. May it long be
so."
Writers and poets in the far western mountain area of North Carolina and bordering counties of South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee post announcements, original work and articles on the craft of writing.
