Flooded Poetry

Every Monday, Ivy Rozen, Senior Editor of The Black Mountain Press, will host a poetry-specific open mic from 6:30pm-9pm. Each poet will be able to share 2-3 poems, and then we’ll close out the evening with a special reading from Tim Peeler: a retired educator from Western North Carolina who has written twenty-two books of poetry, short stories, and regional history. He has twice been a finalist for the Casey Award for baseball book of the year, and five of his books are housed in the library at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.  Most recently he has collaborated with the Appalachian photographer Clayton Young on books that combine verse narratives and rural images.
