The Next Feast...

Turner/Bernardin-editors, Wilkinson-photog & Chapman-musician

author of "Coast Lines" at Wahoo's Fish House, Murrells Inlet (change of venue).

"Herein lies your best vacation ever. You needn’t pack a bag or even flip-flops, just settle in a comfy chair, a hammock, or perhaps a drifting canoe, and let these voices take you on their journeys. Conceived by an exemplary poet in partnership with another luminous wordsmith and illustrated by one of South Carolina’s finest nature photographers, Coast Lines brings 50 binyahs and comyahs together in inspiration and contemplation of the treasures to be found along our coastal waterways.Editors Daniel Cross Turner and Libby Bernardin carefully curated the submissions, selecting the best of these best to pair with Philip Wilkinson’s archive of images—thousands taken over decades traveling, documenting, researching, and reporting on these coastal plains and tributaries and their inhabitants. The resulting collection is a feast for eyes, ears, minds, and hearts.The poems achieve an unparalleled collection of works by past, present, and future stars in the South Carolina constellation of poets. Read them alone, read them aloud, read them to your dog, read them in concert with other word worshippers ... read them. A number of the poets will share their contributions to the collection accompanied by images captured over the decades by photographer Philip Wilkinson. Award-winning singer-songwriter Marshall Chapman, a multi-hyphenated regional treasure, will perform her musical entry."
