David Gate is a poet, writer and visual artist that hails from London, UK and now resides in the mist of the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina.

His work centers around care for the individual (heart, mind, body & soul) and the nurture of community (culture, the earth &  environment, the dignity of others and spiritual communities).

David will be reading poems from his bestselling book A Rebellion of Care, and Owen will offer instrumental interludes on gourd banjo.
