Asheville, NC

I read at the Battery Park Book Exchange and Champagne Bar in Asheville, NC. I partnered up with local writer Catherine Campbell. The city was so incredibly welcoming. You can now find my books at Firestorm Cafe and Books and Downtown Books and News.

A big thank you to Catherine, to the locals who stopped by the reading, and to the indie bookstores.

Kate’s Quotes

“Depression is one of the unknown modes of being.
There are no words for a world without a self, seen with impersonal clarity.
All language can register is the slow return
to oblivion we call health when imagination automatically recolors the landscape
and habit blurs perception and language
takes up its routine flourishes.”
― Anne Carson, Autobiography of Red
