Book Clubs, Writing Groups, or Tell a Story events
If your book club or writing group or local library is interested in hearing about Pat Conroy’s Love of Poetry and how he encouraged me to write “Theologies of Terrain, I’d be honored to join you — either in person, if it’s possible, or by speakerphone or Skype. Email me with “Tell Me A Story” in the subject line, and let’s have conversation about poetry, reading, and writing.

Muddy Ford Press (My wonderful publisher)
“In this dwelling of scars/the history of dirt is blood,” Tim Conroy tells us in this
excellent debut. There is sadness in these poems, vivid renderings of childhood abuse and of lives that ended too soon, but the beauty of the natural world is also acknowledged, as is the realization that memory offers consolation as well as sorrow, all of which leads to the poet’s hard-earned affirmation that “love has saved me.” Bravo! – Ron Rash
