Rosemary Royston |
Rosemary’s chapbook, Splitting the Soil, is available through Finishing Line Press and Amazon.
Rosemary Royston’s poems speak in the tongues of rural folks in a way that only a linguistical conjurer could have managed. She takes her readers on a tour through Appalachia and its cultures—showing the reader creek bottoms, retold Garden of Eden stories, and her grandmother’s medicine cabinet. Royston is an eloquent wordsmith who tenderly crafts each word, each line, and each stanza. This collection of Royston’s is honest, timely, and beautiful. It is a love letter to Appalachia and rural people everywhere who often don’t get their stories told in such a powerful and compassionate manner.
I have known Rosemary for many years.
She was a member of the North Carolina Writers' Network. She served as Program Coordinator for NCWN-West.

We always had a full class when Rosemary taught at Writers Circle around the Table, my studio in Hayesville.
I like this description of Rosemary's book, Second Sight:
If you write poetry, no matter what level, you will enjoy and learn from taking this class.
