Had I A Dove: An Evening of Commemoration with Appalachian Poets

Had I A Dove: Appalachian Poets on the Helene Flood is a moving anthology edited by North Carolina poet Hilda Downer. This collection gathers the voices of poets—many directly impacted by the Helene Flood—whose work bears witness to devastation, resilience, and the urgent realities of climate change in Appalachia. This event will feature readings and musical performances by some of the poets that contributed to this anthology. Copies will be available to buy with all proceeds going to the Community Foundation's Disaster Relief fund for Helene.
