Poet to read from new collection

Local poet and artist Terry Michelsen will visit City Lights Bookstore in Sylva to read from her collection of poetry Soaring on Wings of Word at 6:30 p.m. July 13.

Soaring on Wings of Word is a compilation of six previously published chapbooks. “Terry Michelsen knows that to write a poem, she must take her gloves off ‘... because bare hands do a better job.’ She brings a lively wit, as well as a keen attentiveness to every encounter. Light and shadow live here, and she brings the reader to both,” said poet Kathryn Byer.

A discussion and book signing will follow the reading.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
