“Virtual Demo” Artist of the Year – Nancy Dillingham

While we aren’t able to do our live demos so far this year, we have another idea! Nancy Dillingham – one of Mountain Made’s most popular local poets – will be our “virtual demo” artist for the year!

Nancy will be sharing her poetry and her 2020 experiences through her writings with our online audience. We will publish one of Nancy’s 2020 poems each every week right here on the Mountain Made blog.

Nancy is the author of twelve books of poetry and short fiction, the co-editor of four anthologies of women’s writing and is the poetry editor at the online literary magazine “The Speckled Trout Review“.

Her collection of poems Home was nominated for a Southern Independent Booksellers’ Alliance Award (SIBA). And her latest book is Like Headlines: New and Selected Poems. Acclaimed North Carolina poet and novelist, Fred Chappell says about Dillingham’s new book, “Poetry is news that stays news…we wait both for the future to appear and for the past to subside.”

We invite you to sign up for our weekly newsletter for updates or if you prefer check out our blog to read published posts of Nancy’s work.
