Mergoat Magazine and I cordially invite you to Soul Waters Rising: An Appalachian Pause, an online reading and fundraiser from poets, writers, ecologists, and singers from our region.

All funds raised will be distributed to Roar WNC, Tri-Cities Mutual Aid, Holler 2 Holler, and Mergoat Magazine.

Join us in the spirit of generosity and love for Appalachia. Join us if your soul waters rise.

We honor the sorrow, pain, and strength of Appalachia. We honor, too, the power and sustenance of our rivers.

October 30, from 7-9pm EST on Zoom. Link will be delivered upon purchase of your ticket.
