ABOUT THE NOVEL“While I can’t change the past, I can change what people learn about it and what they do about it today.”
In 2018, at age 65, DNA testing revealed cousins of African descent; ensuing genealogical research uncovered a Charleston family history that shook Margaret to the core. She hails from nearly 100 years of slave traders in the Transatlantic and Domestic Slave Trades. With a professional background in conflict resolution, she faced only one choice, share the truth. This inspired action to bridge today’s racial divide through storytelling and art. “Payne-ful” Business: Charleston’s Journey to Truth, is a book collaboration with another SC native, African American artist John W. Jones, who brings these historic newspaper advertisements to life revealing the humanity of the enslaved offered for sale by my ancestor, William Payne.
ABOUT THE AUTHORMargaret Seidler is a retired Organization Development consultant and master trainer. Her practice focused on creating higher performance in both organization and community systems. Her interest in helping other professionals become more effective leaders began in the early 1990s, when she recognized a dire need to improve her own leadership skills. Her areas of expertise include managing complex challenges and change, emotional intelligence, teambuilding, conflict resolution and interpersonal communication. Since returning to her hometown of Charleston and establishing her consulting practice in 2001, Margaret published numerous articles. In 2008, her leadership book, Power Surge, was published by the Human Resource Development (HRD) Press of Amherst, MA. A case study of her work in strengthening citizen/police relationships in response to the Mother Emanuel AME Church tragedy was published in 2017 in The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Paradox, Oxford University Press, UK. In 2022, her broader work with the city of Charleston was published in Both/AND Thinking: Embracing Creative Tensions to Solve Your Toughest Problems, Harvard Business Review Press, MA. Margaret’s community service included the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce Board, as well as appointment by the South Carolina Governor to the Charleston International Airport Board.Her education includes a BA in Psychology and Master of Public Administration from the University of South Carolina, as well as graduate course work in Organization Development at the University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis. In 2009, Margaret became one of only eighteen certified Polarity Management™ Masters in North America. She has served as adjunct faculty in Executive Education at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza School of Business, the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management and the US Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for Organization Management.Margaret is one of 47 contributors in Ukweli: Search for Healing Truth, South Carolina Writers and Poets explore American Racism, Evening Post Books, 2022. Her book, “Payne-ful” Business: Charleston’s Journey to Truth, was released in March 2024, has sold 5000 copies, won two national book awards as well as the South Carolina Governor’s Award in the Humanities.
In JAN 2026, Margaret discovered a Runaway newspaper ad for 16-year-old, Molly. She and artist Jones are committed to sharing this horrific story through his stunning art.

An Afternoon with Poet Myra Shapiro, Author of Crossing the Street to Paradis
2026-03-21 14:00 - 17:00 | 601 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC, United States, South Carolina 29902, 601 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC, United States, South Carolina 29902
The nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host an afternoon with award-winning poet and memoirist Myra Shapiro, author of Crossing the Street to Paradis, on Saturday, March 21, at 2:00 p.m., at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St., Beaufort). Books will be available for sale and signing. Seating is limited for this free event; please call in advance to reserve: 843-379-7025.
ABOUT THE BOOK“Crossing the Street to Paradis is a glorious triumph. It shines like ‘shook foil’ as the strongest, bravest, most heartbroken and wildly funny of Shapiro’s work yet. To produce poetry of such magnificence in the ninth decade of a life is not only miraculous, it’s outrageous and completely inspiring. This is the most Myra Shapiro yet. And, above all, there is such a comfortable, unapologetic, and loveable human spirit who not only shares her thoughts but dares to shock us with her freedom to Imagine Anything and Everything. She has the radical chutzpah of a great poet!”– Carol Conroy, author of The Beauty Wars
From the award-winning poet and memoirist Myra Shapiro comes a luminous new collection that traverses love and loss, age and vitality, New York streets and Southern roots. Crossing the Street to Paradis is a vibrant tapestry of poems that embrace a life lived deeply—fiercely—and still unfolding.
Through moments as intimate as sipping ginger tea with John Donne or remembering the weight of a daughter’s curls, Shapiro turns the ordinary into the mythic. She writes of marriage and motherhood, pandemics and Passovers, rooftop gardens and subway benches, each line shimmering with wit, resilience, and grace.
In her 90s and still singing, Shapiro speaks to what it means to endure, to remember, to gather stones from Ireland and words from childhood, and to find, in the face of grief and global tumult, the enduring power of poetry. Perfect for fans of Mary Oliver, Sharon Olds, and Billy Collins, this collection is a triumphant meditation on tenderness, resistance, and the joy of still being here.
ABOUT THE POETMyra Shapiro, born in the Bronx, returned to New York City after forty-five years in Georgia and Tennessee where she married Harold Shapiro, raised two daughters and worked as a teacher and librarian. She holds a BA in American Literature (University of Chattanooga) MA in English (Bread Loaf School of English, Middlebury College) and MFA in Writing (Vermont College). She received the Dylan Thomas Poetry Award from The New School and was a finalist for the Robert H. Winner Award from the Poetry Society of America. She has held fellowships at the Banff Arts Center, MacDowell Colony, and Hedgebrook.
Shapiro’s books of poetry are I’ll See You Thursday, 12 Floors Above the Earth, When the World Walks Toward You, and her memoir, Four Sublets: Becoming a Poet in New York. Her poems have appeared in many periodicals and anthologies, and twice, in Best American Poetry. She serves on the Board of Directors of Poets House and teaches poetry workshops for the International Women’s Writing Guild.

The Spring Architects’ Tour supports HBF’s mission to preserve and protect Beaufort’s historic and architectural heritage. The event is the Lowcountry’s only tour presenting the rare opportunity to peek inside private homes as architects, builders, designers and owners share their expertise.
“We appreciate the homeowners’ willingness to share their properties as part of our Spring Architects’ Tour and in support of Historic Beaufort Foundation,” said HBF Executive Director Lise Sundrla. “Not only do guests get to look inside the homes, but the architects, builders and interior designers will talk about the choices made to create these exceptional homes.”
This year’s tour features homes designed by three of Beaufort’s acclaimed architectural firms –Frederick & Frederick Architects, Hefner Residential Architecture, and Montgomery Architecture & Planning.
“From Historic Beaufort Foundation’s perspective, this is always a great way to invite the community in to see some amazing home designs in the Lowcountry,” said Rob Montgomery, HBF chair.
“It is a nice event that supports HBF and its mission, and speaking on behalf of the Board of Trustees, we are most appreciative of the homeowners who open their homes to the tour. Speaking as an architect included on this year’s tour, I’m proud to share our work and I look forward to explaining some of the choices we made and challenges we faced in our design,” he said.
This is primarily a self-driven tour. Golf carts and/or trolley service will be available in certain locations. Also, as a part of the day’s event this year, the Dataw Historic Foundation will provide tours of their History Museum and Learning Center and the Sams Plantation Ruins.
“We appreciate our partnership with Dataw Island and the Dataw Historic Foundation,” Sundrla said. “The Sams Plantation ruins include outstanding examples of tabby construction dating back to the late 1700s.” The ruins were listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
