Murphy poet Mary Ricketson returns to the CCAC reads from her new book, "Tara: The Healing Power of Nature." Thursday, Nov. 12, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., at the Arts Council."Tara" is a story in poems. A young girl who has carried more than she could say finds her way through chores, walks in the woods, and a friendship with a woodland fairy. Mary will read from the book and talk about it afterward.
Scott Owens, poet laureate of Hickory, wrote: "The weave of details will keep you reading and call you back to read again."
Mary has nine published collections, including "Lira," "Precious the Mule," and "Tall Flowers and Living Long." She spent a long career as a mental health counselor here in Murphy.
Free, with light hors d'oeuvres. Copies of "Tara" will be for sale, and Mary will sign them.
