Statement on writing	"Anyone who speaks a sentence can write a sentence.... Students should develop their minds and communicate feelings in a way readers understand.... Students should know about archetypes, symbolism and imagery by employing Jungian psychology. "I just sit down and write. The literary symbolism one finds in my work is generally subconscious. "Writing is the hardest work there is. You have to give up television, friends, and a lot of other things."
Biography	Lewis Green was born and raised in Haywood County, North Carolina. He wrote for The Asheville Citizen for ten years, and has also taught political journalism at UNC-Asheville and creative writing at Warren Wilson College. Like his life and professional career, his literary output has also focused on the mountains of North Carolina. From autobiographical fiction to populating his own fictional mountain community, Green's writing reflects naturalistic stories and realistic characters. He lives in Fairview, North Carolina.
