If you haven’t yet read Drew Perry—local Greensboro resident and English professor at Elon University—you should. Perry recently published a remarkable debut novel, This is Just Exactly Like You, which was shortlisted for the Center for Fiction’s best first novel of the year. It is wise and witty, a little tour de force on love and infidelity, parenting, suburbia, and the ways in which we are broken.January 25 2012
My Name Is Not Bob: Bending the Rules: Or a Poet Has to Be a Poet (Life Changing Moments Series)
This week I'm pleased to share Scott Owens as the next contributor to the Life Changing Moments Series of blog posts. I first "met" Scott online, but last year, Tammy and I were able to talk with him in person at the Blue Ridge Writers Conference (in Blue Ridge, GA). Later this year, we'll be reading our poetry at one of his Poetry Hickory events (in Hickory, NC). Scott is the author of several poetry collections of poetry, including For One Who Knows How to Own Land (Future Cycle Press, March 2012) and Shadows Trail Them Home (a collaboration with Pris Campbell due October 2012 from Clemson University Press). He is also the editor of Wild Goose Poetry Review and 234. An eight-time Pushcart Nominee, Scott also serves as Vice President, Poetry Council of North Carolina; works as an instructor, Catawba Valley Community College; is founder and facilitator, Poetry Hickory; acts as regional rep, NC Writers' Network. In other words, he keeps himself busy. http://www.scottowenspoet.com/January 24 2012

Magic for Beginners by Kelly Link | JoCoLibrary Staff Picks
Looking for a great collection of short stories? Checkout Magic for Beginners by Kelly Link.Pure by Julianna Baggott
While the horror in unanticipated and disturbing, it is also richly imagined. Pressia, Bradwell and Partridge make convincing protagonists and are developed well; I read along engrossed in their struggle. The bad guys, cold and inhuman and oh-so-calculating gave me the shivers. Baggott paints a descriptive picture of the bleak world in which Pressia and Bradwell live. The different points of view, each the perspective of a different character, drive home the sometimes deranged thoughts, deprivation and danger of a world after the apocalypse.January 18 2012
Writers Talk Podcast with Julianna Baggott « billtownbluelit
Listen to Julianna talk to me about her writing process, her journey with multiple pseudonyms, and advice for new writers.Holly Goddard Jones: Literary Fraternity
In my first semester of graduate school, I took a class called Forms of Fiction with the man who would eventually become my thesis director, Lee K. Abbott. Lee’s a brilliant teacher—I’ve been thinking about that fact recently, because he’s in his last year of teaching before retirement—and I steal from him for my own classes all the time. This past week I used a reading he assigned me in that class eight years ago: the introduction to an anthology of fiction, The Secret Life of Our Times, published in Esquire back in 1973, when Gordon Lish was editor. This intro, written by Tom Wolfe, is a pretty entertaining document, and I feel moved to share a couple of quotes from it:

Review: Pure by Julianna Baggott
I think my absolute favourite thing about the book is the journeys all the main characters take. I wouldn’t go so far to say Julianna Baggott turns conventions on their heads, but few of the characters end up totally filling the roles you’d expect when you first meet them. It’s refreshing to see, and makes you like them all the more.January 17 2012
