 Five Piedmont Laureates will participate in a panel
discussion at the 2014 North Carolina Literary Festival on Sunday, April 6 at 12:15pm in the James B.
Hunt Jr. Library at NC State University.
Poet Jaki Shelton Green, creative
non-fiction writer Scott Huler, playwright Ian Finley, children’s author John
Claude Bemis and writer of short fiction Carrie Knowles, the newly appointed 2014 Laureate, will discuss their relationship with the Piedmont as home and its
influence on their craft, along with how the changes that have come
and will come to the Piedmont are reflected in their writing.
Free and open to the public, the festival takes place April 3-6 at the Hunt Library and in several downtown Raleigh venues.
