NCPS Poetry Reading with Paul Jones, M. Scott Douglass, and Anna Lewis

We are looking forward to kicking off the New Year with our first poetry reading in 2025 sponsored by the North Carolina Poetry Society.

A manuscript of Paul Jones’ poems landed on the moon in February 2024. In 2021, Jones entered the NC State Computer Science Hall of Fame. In 2024, Jones’ poem “Geode” was plagiarized multiple times by the notorious offender, John Kucera. Jones’ books are Something Wonderful (2021) and Something Necessary (2024), both from Redhawk Press.

M. Scott Douglass has authored six books of poetry, most recently Living in a Red State Blues (Paycock Press, 2022). His latest book, 8000 Mile Roll, A Motorcycle Memoir (Paycock Press, 2024), recounts his solo ride across America on a motorcycle during the pandemic in the summer of 2021.

Anna Lewis‘ debut poetry collection is Memory’s Abacus. She studied literature at Rutgers, the Sorbonne, and Yale. After fifteen years of working in the technology industry, she is currently training to become a Financial Advisor. She lives in Durham, NC with her husband and son.
