City Lights Bookstore is in Sylva, North Carolina, a small Main Street town tucked in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. Our goal is to share the literature of the Southern Appalachian region with the world, and the world of books with our community.
The Coffee with the Poet series continues on Thursday, May 17th at 10:30 a.m. and will feature the poetry of Webster resident Dave Waldrop. He has written one poetry collection titled, Am I and co-authored a nonfiction book titled, Appalachian Roots. The Coffee with the Poet series is a monthly gathering held every third Thursday and is co-sponsored by NetWest.
Former
Cullowhee resident, Marly Youmans will return to City Lights Bookstore
on Wednesday, May 16th at 6:30 p.m. to read from her latest book, A Death at the White Camellia Orphanage.
Ron Rash says of the book, “Marly Youmans’ new book is a vividly
realized, panoramic novel of survival during the Great Depression.
There is poetry in Youmans’ writing, but she also knows how to tell a
riveting story.”
