CHANGE OF DATE! Our original date of April 9th conflicted with the Writers' Night Out on April 9th, so we've moved back a week. The Jackson County branch of NCWN-West and City Lights Bookstore will host an April Open Mic night on April 16th at 7:30 via Zoom. We'll plan for an hour and a half, with length of time for readings determined by how many people want to read. For the Zoom link, please contact Jackson County reps Matt Nelson or Catherine Carter, or City Lights Bookstore in Sylva. We look forward to seeing some of you there!
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.

Love in the Time of Corona by Lorraine Bennett
Lorraine says, “The essay, Love in the Time of
Corona is about visiting my ailing mother through a closed window at her
nursing home. It has been published in
the Daniel Boone Footsteps Personal Story Publishing Project’s Spring 2021
edition.”
Lorraine’s essay first was submitted in the 2020
Senior Games Silver Arts Essay Category and won the first-place gold medal for
Cherokee and Clay counties in June. It took the silver medal in the statewide
competition in October.
We congratulate Lorraine and send our sympathy
and compassion for her as she travels the journey of grief at this time.
