Focus Features Karen Paul Holmes

The Friends of the Gaston County (NC) Public Library publish a monthly newsletter, which always contains a Poet's Corner. NCNW-West member Karen Paul Holmes was the featured poet for April. Editor David E. Poston, who chose her poem says, "What a great way to begin National Poetry Month!" 

The poem appears in Karen's second collection, No Such Thing as Distance (Terrapin Books, 2018).
