It's an evening of fine NC poetry with a host of poets! Contributors Shirlette Ammons, Jackie Shelton Green, Ajuba Joy, and Lenard Moore will give a reading and signing for Home is Where: An Anthology of African-American Poetry from the Carolinas.

Editor Kwame Dawes compiled the work of African-American poets from the Carolinas, showcasing a vast array of original voices writing on subjects ranging from Jim Crow to jazz, haunted landscapes to romantic love—all in an attempt to define the South as home.
