 This month we are happy to have Janice Townley Moore as featured reader at Coffee with the Poets and Writers at Joe’s Coffee House, 82 Main Street, Hayesville, NC. We meet at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, August 12.
Janice facilitates the NCWN-West Poetry Critique group that meets monthly at Tri-County College in Murphy, NC. An Atlanta native, Janice recently retired from Young Harris College in Georgia where she was a professor of English for many years. Moore taught creative writing and poetry at YHC, and her special areas of interest include contemporary poetry and Southern literature.


In addition to her teaching duties, she was chair of the YHC Humanities Division for eight years and served 12 years as poetry editor for the Georgia Journal, Moore claimed first prize in the 2009 Press 53 Open Awards and was awarded first place in the Georgia Poetry Society's annual competition in 2011.

Janice Moore is author of Teaching the Robins, a poetry chapbook, published by Finishing Line Press in 2005. She is co-author of Like a Summer Peach, a great little book of recipes and poems.

Wow! What a fun time we had a COFFEE WITH THE POETS this morning in Hayesville! We had a full house there to hear poet Janice Townley Moore read her original poems. She is an accomplished, fine poet. I enjoyed hearing her poems so much and enjoyed hearing the others also. I came prepared to read one poem but left my new glasses on the table at home. Mary St. Pierre read it for me. Thanks to Mary. I'm remain totally impressed with these NCWN West poets and writers, still going strong after 23 years.
