Narya Deckard's first collection of poetry, "Wolfcraft," will be debuted locally at Taste Full Beans Coffeehouse in downtown Hickory on April 1 at 6:15 PM. The event is free and open to the public. Copies of her collection will be available for purchase and signing.
Deckard is winner of Broken Tribe Press's MFA Graduate Award and has had poems published in Tiny Seed, Dead Mule, Eternal Haunted Summer, Kakalak, and other literary journals. She teaches writing at Lenoir Rhyne University and has been a regular contributor at Poetry Hickory for the last several years.
Playing off of the content of some of her poems, Hickory poet and professor, Scott Owens, says of Deckard, "Maybe not so much a woman who knows something more but one who notices more, one who pays attention, one who listens to her intuition, hears better by listening to flowers tended by hands long turned into the flowers they tended, making her ink a conduit for silenced voices, giving language to knowledge that defies language, each line a sensory delight, each word in touch with truth on all the levels we've ever known."
NC Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Greene comments, "'Wolfcraft' howls the alphabet into full lettered meadows with poetics inscribed on 'the slow tongue of bone,' delivering an intentional unfettered sensibility of craft embodied in voice that is decidedly female inside the beauty and juxtapositions of the natural world. This collection of poetry offers interrogations of vulnerability that are unapologetic reincarnations of celebration."
Taste Full Beans has hosted Poetry Hickory, facilitated by Scott Owens, for 18 years. For more information, contact Owens at 828-234-4266 or [email protected].
