With his first poetry book in nearly ten years, Ron Rash will visit City Lights Bookstore to read from his new collection, Waking, Sunday, August 28th at 1 p.m. This is a book  full of sorrow and redemption, sparseness and the beauty of a single stark detail–the muskellunge at first light, a barn choked with curing tobacco, a porch full of men and the rockers that move them over the same spot until they carve their names into the ground, deeper, even into the roots where myths start, into the very marrow of the world.

To reserve a copy call us at 828-586-9499 or visit us at our webstore at http://www.citylightsnc.com/

Young Adult authors, Beth Revis, Myra McEntire and Victoria Schwab will be at
City Lights Bookstore Saturday, August 6th at 1 p.m. for a presentation of
their books and a panel discussion of Young Adult literature.  City Lights
donated each of the authors’ books as gift to the Jackson County Library
Complex.

Across the Universe by Beth Revis
Told in alternating points of view, Across the Universe is part science
fiction, part thriller, and part mystery with a touch of surprise taking the
reader on a journey that spans time, space, love, and life. I couldn’t read
fast enough to discover what happens, and this is only the beginning. This
book will appeal to readers of sci-fi and those who do not.

Hourglass by Myra McEntire
After the death of her parents, seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole is living in a
small southern town with her brother & sister-in-law, trying to get over her
problems.  This includes her ability to see people from the past. She begins
to wonder if there are others with unusual abilities. With help she may have
more control of her life and of events that can change the lives of others.
(Did I mention some of this help just happens to be incredibly good looking?)

Near Witch by Victoria Schwab
Sixteen-year-old Lexi, who lives on an enchanted moor at the edge of the
village of Near, must solve the mystery when, the day after a mysterious boy
appears in town, children start disappearing.
