Featured Poet:
Clinton Anderson was born in LaGrange, North Carolina in 1962. His father, Joseph Anderson, was a well loved local musician, and, his mother Martha Davis, was a skilled seamstress. Anderson was influenced by his parents as well as his ten siblings to be an artist/painter. His first major works were done at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Later shows followed in cities across the country and the world. Most shows have been accompanied with his poetry and the poetry of friends.
