... The Ultimate Love Song to a Small Southern Town in Poetry & Photography

Join us in this engaging podcast as we probe into the creative minds of North Carolina’s renowned poet Scott Owens and acclaimed photographer C. Joe Young. Joining forces once again, they have created a heartfelt book brimming with evocative poems and stunning photographs entitled, “‘Round Here.” Together, they weave a tapestry of inspiration and admiration for this cherished locale, which holds a special place in the hearts of those who grew up there or are current residents.

Both Joe and Scott share the transformative power of time in old towns: Poems like "Used To" eloquently reflect upon the changes that have taken place, from forgotten stores to bygone movie theaters. Through lively and engaging discussions, gain insight into the artistic processes behind both the written word and visual expression.

And if you find yourself in North Carolina, mark your calendar for the official book launch and reading on December 12th at Taste Full Beans Coffeehouse, as part of the Poetry Hickory event series. It starts at 6:15 pm and the book will be available for purchase and Joe will also sell his photos! Celebrating its 18th year, Poetry Hickory invites you to share your own poetic voice during the open mic segment of the evening. Admission is free, so come and be part of this nurturing community.
