Sierra Poetry Fringe Festival

Schedule:

5:00 - 7:00pm: The Watching Sky
“Stirring landscapes and a searching heart inform The Watching Sky, the vibrant and compassionate full-length debut from award-winning poet Judy Brackett Crowe. Both a probing exploration of the natural world by various, mostly anonymous, speakers, focusing on intimate encounters and interactions, and a questioning and celebration of identity, Crowe's astute sense of place grounds her work in fields and mountains, soft light and small roads, stories and sounds. With wonder and hope, The Watching Sky proves that there is always another chance, and plenty of stars to follow.”

Join poet and author Judy Crowe as she reads from her new book from Cornerstone Press.  Artist talk, book signing, and light refreshments to follow.
