Thomas More College’s Creative Writing Vision Program presents Quarried: Three Decades of Pine Mountain Sand & Gravel, a showcase of poetry and prose reading and anthology launch on Monday, November 30 at 7 p.m.
This event, as part of the Visiting Author Series, includes regional authors as they share from Pine Mountain Sand & Gravel’s new anthology from Dos Madres Press. Joseph Beth Booksellers in Crestview Hills will host the event featuring authors Kate Fadick, Roberta Schultz, Pauletta Hansel, Chris Holbrook, Scott Goebel, Michael Henson, Sherry Cook Stanforth, Richard Hague, John Ray, Owen Cramer, and Misty Marie Rae Skaggs.
The event is free and open to the public.
Creative Writing Vision Director and TMC English Professor Sherry Cook Stanforth developed the Visiting Authors Series in order to feature the talents of regional writers in an intimate setting.
“Our collaboration with Joseph Beth reflects our key mission of expanding literary arts exploration for diverse groups of people. These bookstore gatherings offer community members of all kinds an opportunity to interact directly with local and regional authors. We hope to inspire productive, ongoing relationships among writing people and provide them with practical resources for appreciating as well as creating literature,” Stanforth said.
TMC’s Creative Writing Vision Program includes a Writer-in-Residence in the English Department, a Visiting Authors program series, a “Draft to Craft” evening course for local people who are interested in meeting authors and workshopping their manuscripts, and a bi-annual Community of Creative Writers Retreat along the Ohio River at TMC’s Biology Field Station.
The Creative Writing Vision mission also features various literacy outreach programs designed to meet the needs of area K-12 schools and non-profit organizations
