Spellbound

April droplets bring rhyming couplets…

April is National Poetry Month, and at Spellbound all poetry books will be 25% off for the entire month!

We’re kicking off our poetry celebration on Saturday, April 2nd with a lulu of a reading by local poet Jethro Clayton Waters (there may be handstands involved), in addition to free activities and give-aways (plus snacks).

1 to 3pm – all ages – free

South of Ordinary is a young reader’s book of poetry, prose, and pen and ink illustrations by Asheville author Jethro Clayton Waters.

Join us for a special dress-up story time with Cindy Bowen, author of Spellbound favorite Playing with Gaia.

Play with the ever-present energy of life in Mother Earth–play with Gaia! This is not yoga, dance or tai chi; it is an awakening and discovery of playfulness and inner freedom. Open a new doorway with yourself or the children in your life. Together you can heal wounds, dissolve boundaries, create deep inner bonds and bring new creativity and awareness into your world. Be independently joyful. Expand your awareness of beauty, support and love found in nature. Connect with Mother Earth–play with Gaia!

Keith Flynn of Asheville Poetry Review says this books “strikes just the right balance between play and burgeoning purpose. The story clearly illustrates how we are all joined in this world together; each particle has its place in the puzzle and Bowen’s little adventurous heroine, Chloe, finds that she is Gaia, and Gaia is a part of her and everything she encounters.”

Come to the story dressed as something you love in nature–a tree, an animal, a cloud… wherever your imagination takes you! Cindy will lead us in creative movement to replicate movement in the natural world.

Free. All ages welcome!
