​

During this daylong annual conference, celebrating its 76th year, I will join Pat Riviere-Seel for a discussion entitled, “Blurring the Lines: A Conversation on Genre-Jumping,” how one genre feeds the other, how expectations of readers (and writers) shift, even how a poet's skill with imagery and line breaks can embellish the prose and how a poet's understanding of narrative can create a more compelling poem.

At everybody's favorite eclectic bookstore, I will partner with fellow South Carolina Press author, Mary Martha Greene, author of The Cheese Biscuit Lady Tells All (2019) and The Cheese Biscuit Lady Kiss My Aspic. Mary Martha and I share a Southern tradition and a love of storytelling that will create a fun and mostly true event.
