Leigh Ann Couch, award-winning poet and managing editor of the Sewanee Review, will read from her poetry as part of an afternoon tea and garden walk at 2 p.m., Saturday, July 27, at Rivendell Writers’ Colony in Sewanee.
“Leigh Ann’s poetry will be the perfect connection to our enjoyment of Rivendell and its outside spaces. We’re honored to have such an integral part of the Sewanee literary community as our guest,” said Carmen Thompson, director of Rivendell.
Poet Alan Shapiro has said of Couch’s work, “The metaphorical richness of Leigh Anne Couch’s ‘Houses Fly Away’ is in service to and informed by a marvelous richness and complexity of mind and heart.”
Couch’s poems have appeared in the Western Humanities Review, Shenandoah, Salmagundi, Gulf Coast Review, Cincinnati Review, Carolina Quarterly and other journals.
Her chapbook, “Green and Helpless,” was published by Finishing Line Press, and her first book, “Houses Fly Away, “was winner of the Zone 3 Press First Book Award. She lives in Sewanee with the writer Kevin Wilson and their sons, Griff and Patch.
