Clela Reed Poetry Memoir Book Launch Party!

Avid Bookshop presents Clela Reed's newest poetry memoir book, The Hero of the Revolution Serves Us Tea, during a launch party on Friday, January 10, 2014, from 6:30pm - 7:30pm.

Clela Reed is the author of two books of poetry: Dancing on the Rim (Brick Road Poetry Press, 2009), The Hero of the Revolution Serves Us Tea (Negative Capability Press, 2014), and two chapbooks: Bloodline (Evening Street Press, 2009) and Of Root and Sky (Pudding House Publications, 2010).  She has had poems published in Caesura Literary Magazine, Colere Journal, The Kennesaw Review, Storysouth Journal, Clapboard House Literary Journal, and others. A former English teacher and Facilitator for the Gifted, she recently returned from Peace Corps service in Romania during which time she wrote weekly in a blog. She lives and writes with her husband and a small herd of deer in her forest home near Athens, Georgia.

PRAISE:

Clela Reed’s The Hero of the Revolution Serves Us Tea is a journey—the outer mirroring the inner—a finding out, an exploration into the self. The cause, the Peace Corps; the place, a village in Romania; the time, now. Like a good reporter, Reed, interspersing poems and blog entries, traces her journey seasonally with humor and good grace from the linden trees of the opening piece to the winter days when “time stretches and thins.” One feels as if one is there.
