In State of the Heart, Aida Rogers has crafted an artful love
letter to our state, with contributions from a host of nationally
and regionally recognized writers who've written short essays on
the South Carolina places that they cherish. This anthology
provides a multifaceted historical and personal view of the
Palmetto State.
Thematically organized, this collection offers a geographic and
emotional scope that is as diverse as its contributors.
Sportswriters describe beloved arenas; historians reflect on church
ruins and forts. A playwright recalls the magic of her first
theater experience; a food writer revels in a coastal joint that
serves fresh oysters. Backyards, front porches, a small library at
a children's home, the drama and camaraderie of building the
Savannah River Site, and places that are gone except in the
memories of the writers who loved them--these are just a few of the
locales covered, all showing how South Carolina has changed and
inspired people in a variety of ways.
State of the Heart evokes a sense of history and timelessness by
bringing together heartfelt responses to South Carolina locales
rooted in memory, drawing on reflection, inspiration, and love. The
anthology reveals a state that is more than a playground for
tourists; it's a state of human hiding places that echo in the
hearts of its literary citizens. Though presented as a book about
place, the collection is ultimately about our shared connections to
one another, to a complex common past, and to ongoing efforts to
frame and build a future of promise and possibility.
