In Loving Memory - The Poet and Citizen Martha Whythblath
by Justin Evans and Kristen Aldrich
The tragic drowning of Martha Whythblath was a shock to lovers of poetry everywhere, but especially to the people of Asheville. Her life and work re-established a classic and humane function of creative work, reinforcing emotional rationality, public communication, and the celebration of our intricately collaborative lives.She is not survived by any of us. As she so prophetically wrote:
"We have all gone to sleep under the warm water with her. The celibate sun bleeds the last of its cold light on our winter hill."
Join us as we commemorate her life and work.
