Lara Tucker Cottrell died in May of 2011 just as she was gaining recognition as an accomplished poet. Kathryn Stripling Byer, Poet Laureate of North Carolina Emerita, called her "a supremely gifted writer: keeper of the spirits." Lara Tucker Cottrell's family has collected many of Lara Cottrell's poems and have published them in a book titled Indicia, a work she was hoping to complete before she died. It also contains some etchings and drawings by her father, Lanny, and photographs by her sister Sasha - which are used to divide some sections - photographs of Lara and her family, and tributes to her memory including a special eulogy written by her brother Scott. Please join us at 7:00pm when her parents will tell her story and lead a reading of her work.
