An Encore PresentationPat 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.

The presenters will be assisted by students from DAYLO (the Diversity Awareness Youth Literacy Organization), who will be reading from Pat Conroy’s work and sharing some original creative pieces in response.
