GennaRose Nethercott
No less of an eminence than Louise Glück chose GennaRose Nethercott’s The Lumberjack’s Dove as a winner of the National Poetry Series in 2017—and that was just for the book. In her live show, which is closer to theater performance than a standard poetry reading (I saw it at The Fruit last week), Nethercott uses a homemade device called a crankie, in which a hand-cranked scroll carries illustrations across a backlit wooden box, to add an enchanting visual layer to the crisp, acute writing of her modern fairy tale. The Vermont author is currently on a mind-boggling eight-month tour, and she comes to CAM Raleigh to read with two distinguished N.C. State MFA students: Emily Cataneo, whose fiction is also fairy-tale-inspired and whose journalism has appeared in Slate and on NPR, and Tennessee Hill, whose work was featured in the Best New Poets 2018 anthology. —Brian Howe
