Nancy Werking Poling will read from her new book, Before It Was Legal: a black-white marriage (1945-1987).The Winters' forty-two-year marriage spanned key historical periods of the 20th century and took them from Indiana to Mexico City. Freed from U.S. racism, Daniel felt "as Mexican as chile verde."

I Have a Coin

I Have a Coin I have a coin I deem a treasure.One side bears the sign of extinction,And the other, an instance of nature.But it’s not a coin; it’s a seal,And the meaning of this distinctionIs the unbearable sadness I feelWith experience, or with closure. It seems like a double exposure,But the knowledge of impermanenceBleeds into the ideal likenessOf mortality in its eminence—To yield a vibrant pictureOf a creature’s essential brightnessAs it burns for life without censure. --Rob NeufeldSee More

Event Description

UNCA history professor, Dan Pierce will visit City Lights Bookstore on Friday, June 9th at 6:30 p.m. He will present his new book, Hazel Creek: The Life and Death of an Iconic Mountain Community. It’s amazing to read about all the things that happened on Hazel Creek. A famous writer mysteriously arrived and settled into a remote log cabin. A mine opened and showed great promise until things turned very sour. One of the biggest lumber companies in the country set up shop and brought opportunity and prosperity for all. TVA decided to build a very large dam to help America win World War II and a once bustling town found itself inconveniently within the boundaries of our nation’s most popular national park. Author Dan Pierce masterfully tells the story of this infinitely complex, supremely controversial, and absolutely fascinating mountain community. To reserve copies of Hazel Creek please call City Lights Bookstore at 828-586-9499.
