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.
Join us for a special moveable feast of readings from the new collection published by NetWest, entitled Echoes Across the Blue Ridge: Stories, Essays, and Poems by Writers Living in and Inspired by the Southern Appalachian Mountains, edited by Nancy Simpson. The book features an introduction by Robert Morgan and contributions by more than 50 writers and poets. The publication party will begin at Spring Street Cafe with refreshments and readings from contributors and will continue with more readings upstairs in the bookstore and in Kay Byer’s studio above the bookstore. Come celebrate the fine voices of our Appalachian mountains.
