Home: What Does It Mean? How Can We Expand its Voice?



I am holding a copy of the seminar program for the recent NCCAT program, NC IS MY HOME: Celebrating NC's Literary Heritage.
I invite all writers, teachers and students to respond to the question of what home and heritage mean, how our educational system can teach our literary heritage to a new generation, and how we as citizens and readers can support our teachers in passing on the love of literature.

Thank you!

A Nomad's Home

My home speaks as an echo.
Hope into home's hollow -
Hobbling or hopping
Between been, am, and will
with eager contentment.


Kay: Thanks for being an inspiration to this Texas transplant, rooted and thriving now in the cultural depth of this great state of North Carolina.
