Join us for an evening of poetry as voices from Asheville and Charlotte, NC, come together to explore themes of grief, reconciliation, identity, and the complexities of the South. This poetry reading is a response to the impact of human and natural disasters and the resilience of Western Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The evening will feature poetry from Bottlecap Press authors:

Isaac Akanmu (not belonging anywhere)
Clint Bowman (Pretty Sh!t)
Angelina O. Brooks (Heavy Bloom)
Michael Conner (Total Annihilation)
Amelia M. Schroeder (Hillbilly Pillory)

This event is also the chapbook release of nightshade by de’Angelo Dia.
