Join us Thurs., Feb. 20 at 5:30 as Asheville-based poet Brit Washburn reads from her debut collection Notwithstanding (Wet Cement press, pb., 110 pp., $14). Through the collection, Washburn courageously ventures into the shadows of romantic love and motherhood, examining a decade of choices and their results with a clear-eyed measure.
Brit Washburn’s work has appeared in a number of journals and anthologies including Alexandria Quarterly, Art Mag, Controlled Burn, The Dunes Review, and Manoa. She served for many years on the board of the Poetry Society of South Carolina, and was co-director of the literary salon Poet’s House South. The winner of two consecutive Albion Prizes for Poetry, she is a graduate of the Interlochen Arts Academy and Goddard College. She worked and studied in New York City, Brazil, France, and Charleston.
