We are excited that our very own Resident Writer, Nancy Simpson, has written a new book of poetry! Living Above the Frost Line: New and Selected Poems was published by Carolina Wren Press in July 2010 as the first work in their Carolina Laureate Series. Simpson is the founder of North Carolina Writer’s Network West, and her poems have been published in Southern Poetry Review, the Georgia Review, Prairie Schooner, and other literary magazines. Through her position as the Folk School’s Resident Writer, Simpson has bolstered our writing program by recruiting some of the finest writing instructors in the region.
A reading and reception will take place in the living room of the Keith House on November 4, 2010 at 4:45. Those attending will have the opportunity to purchase the new book, which is also available for purchase through our Craft Shop.
Nancy is also reading this Sunday, Oct 17 at 2 pm at City Lights Book Store in Sylva, NC
Congratulations to Nancy. She is an excellent teacher, poet, and resident writer for JCCFS.
