Juniper Bends this Friday, Downtown Books and News

Both Julian Vorus and Lucy Tobin have now written me about Juniper Bends, a new reading series hosted at Downtown Books and News. As Julian writes:

Luckily, we have such a vibrant music scene here in Asheville, but we would like to see a parallel development of a solid underground writing scene as well. Diversity, as well as opportunity helps strengthen such objectives.

The series this week features six poets: Jaye Bartell, Jennifer Callahan, Ingrid Carson, Chall Gray, Lucy Tobin, and Julian himself. They're sharp, intelligent writers, so I'll certainly be headed over to check them out.

Downtown Books and News is at 67 North Lexington Avenue in downtown Asheville. The reading gets under way at 7:00 PM, and is free. Hope to cross paths there.
