Pat Conroy as Nature Writer -- Presented by Jonathan Haupt & Tim Conroy
2025-10-21 17:30 - 19:00 | Port Royal Sound Foundation
“My soul grazes like a lamb on the beauty of an indrawn tide.”—Pat Conroy, The Prince of Tides
An encore presentation! 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.
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.
This event will be held at the Port Royal Sound Foundation Maritime Center (310 Okatie Hwy) on Tuesday, October 21 (Tim Conroy’s birthday), at 5:30 p.m. $10/person. To register, visit portroyalsoundfoundation.org and click the orange “Book A Program” button.
