Enjoy a conversation and poetry reading with former Warren Wilson College first lady, Elizabeth Holden. Holden will read from her newly published book, Reflections: Poems & Images.

Holden is a longtime resident of Black Mountain, North Carolina, having moved to the Asheville area in 1970. She has been involved in the arts all her life. In earlier days living in New Haven, Connecticut, she photographed poets for the Yale Series of Younger Poets. She has explored different mediums, always as a means to express her inner life, especially through painting and poetry. She has taught courses on dreams from a Jungian point of view and on literary works like Moby Dick. Her work has been published in the Asheville Poetry Review and The Virginia Quarterly Review. Her poems reveal her lifelong interests in psychology, dreams, and literature. Holden has a special connection to Warren Wilson College: her husband Reuben Holden was president from 1971-1986.
