AUTHOR OF "THIS EARTHLY BODY" FEATURED AT OCT 14 POETRY HICKORYPushcart Prize Nominee, Katie Ellen Bowers, author of "This Earthly Body" (Main Street Rag, 2024) will be the featured writer at the October 14 Poetry Hickory.
The event will be held at Taste Full Beans Coffeehouse in downtown Hickory, and will begin at 6:15. Bowers' reading will be followed by an Open Mic. Anyone interested in reading in the Open Mic should contact Scott Owens at 828-234-4266 or [email protected].
Originally from Charleston, Katie Ellen Bowers is a writer and educator now living in the small rural town of Heath Springs, SC. She is a graduate of Winthrop University, where she first discovered her love for poetry. Her poetry has been featured in "Kakalak," "Broad River Review," and "Flying South" among other journals and anthologies.
Award-winning author, Nicholas Trandahl, writes, "Katie Ellen Bowers writes poems with dirt under her nails. The earthiness and authenticity of her words are almost fragrant with heat, salt, skin, leaves, and tangibility. Unflinchingly, Bowers guides us through womanhood, motherhood, and humanhood. Her poems are honest about the burdens of love and memory, about the simple blessings that bloom sacred throughout the quiet corners of our lives."

Poetry Hickory is in its 19th year of monthly readings.
