Y'all, Denton Loving will soon read from his brand-new and highly acclaimed third collection, Feller, right here in Cookeville! Sawmill Poetry hosts Loving on September 8th at Plenty Downtown Bookshop. Don't sleep on this one.
Denton Loving lives on a farm near the historic Cumberland Gap, where Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia come together. He is the author of three poetry collections: Feller (Mercer University Press), Crimes Against Birds (Main Street Rag), and Tamp, (Mercer University Press), which was a finalist for the Weatherford Award and recipient of the inaugural Tennessee Book Award for Poetry. He is also the editor of Seeking Its Own Level: an anthology of writings about water (MotesBooks). For over a decade, he co-directed the Mountain Heritage Literary Festival at Lincoln Memorial University where he also co-edited drafthorse: the literary journal of work and no work. (His bio is longer than this: check out dentonloving.com for more!)
As always, Sawmill Poetry will also feature an open mic. Poetry, spoken word, dramatic monologue, short prose, and more are welcome. Arrive by 6:45 to sign up.
