SUMMARY:Pat Conroy as Nature Writer
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, January 25\, at 3:00-5:00 p.m.\, at Village Social of Habersham\, Pat Conroy Literary Center executive director Jonathan Haupt and poet Tim Conroy will discuss the nature writing of Pat Conroy\, the bestselling author of The Water Is Wide\, The Great Santini\, The Prince of Tides\, and more. From his obscure boyhood poetry to his beloved lyrical adult prose\, Conroy wrote about the beauty of our natural world as both wondrous and perilous\, using the lowcountry not only as a setting but as the central character of his many books. This presentation will highlight representative examples of Conroy’s nature writing from across the span of his writing life\, drawing attention to how Conroy’s relationship with nature is also ultimately a relationship with his deeply felt spiritual and humanistic faith. \n– – –By popular demand\, this program is now being offered twice: January 25 AND 26. – – – \nThe $25 registration fee includes the presentation\, refreshments\, and a donation in support of the year-round educational mission of the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center.
