Hello all! This month’s theme is poetry in honor of April being poetry month. Later this evening, I’ll be sharing a live recording of Poetry Corner featuring Willie Edward Taylor Carver Jr., Doug Van Gundy, and Rahul Mehta. Stay tuned!

...today is One Day for Western at Western Carolina University and you can help fund future festivals (and save me from writing grants!!!). We aim to bring the best of the literary world to our patch of the NC Mountains, and any bit helps.

Hi friends, Adam Vitcavage here asking a personal favor from authors!

Lady Debutiful and I are getting married (finally!) on our anniversary 4/20/2024!

We want to make a lil free library for our guests. If you're willing to send a signed copy of your book... (see next tweet)

Putting out the call again - if you give to Hindman Settlement, Appalshop, Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky or eKy mutual aid, I’ll match your donation and send you copy of my book.

These orgs are helping those affected by the floods recover while trying to rebuild themselves. Please give!

Potentially one of my fav audiobooks of the year—it’s so good!

Ohhhhh. I need some new shirts for my Appalachian book adventure next month!

Can I share how much it means to have writers I admire say such kind things about my book? Neema Avashia, Kari Gunter-Seymour, and Robert Gipe have blurbed The Stone Catchers, and reading what they have to say fills me with such hope. University Press of Kentucky
