Join us for a special evening of poetry and presence with award-winning poet Catherine W. Carter, as she reads from her newest collection, By Stone and Needle- winner of the 2025 L. E. Phillabaum Poetry Award.
Carter’s poems are living spells, threaded with the sacred and the ecological, the everyday and the mythic. In this luminous collection, her words become incantations of connection: tracing the breath between the human and the more-than-human world, calling forth the wisdom of beetles, hubcaps, cut onions, and creekwater runes.
Here, creation is not something that happened once, but something we participate in daily, through protest and prayer, through presence and small gestures of care. Each poem invites us to reimagine what power, responsibility, and love look like when the whole world is speaking, and we finally listen.
