Found Anew is an anthology of new poetry and prose from writers
with strong ties to the Palmetto State that creatively engages with
historical photographs found in the digital collections of the
University of South Carolina's South Caroliniana Library. In their
eclectic approach to ekphrasis -textual response to the visual-
editors R. Mac Jones and Ray McManus have recruited an impressive
group of poets and fiction writers, including National Book
Award-winning poets Terrance Hayes and Nikky Finney (who provides
the foreword); their fellow South Carolina Academy of Authors
honourees Gilbert Allen, John Lane, Bret Lott, George Singleton,
and Marjory Wentworth; Lillian Smith Award-winner Pam Durban, and
others. These thirty-one pairings of archival images with original
creative responses illustrate the breadth and richness of the
diverse talents of South Carolina writers. While the digital
collections are a much-valued resource for researchers and
educators, Found Anew encourages a wider use as a source of
inspiration for writers and artists inventing narratives set in and
about South Carolina. In coupling the poems and short stories with
the images that inspired them, the anthology shows writers gauging
unlikely depths in curious photographs that other eyes might pass
over without a second glance, conjuring perfect words for the
emotion evoked by a particular image, and rendering and reimagining
the visual in seemingly disparate but ultimately linked narratives.
An instructive model for active, collaborative engagement between
creative writers and culturally significant visual prompts, this
collection also serves to demonstrate the accessibility and scope
of archival photography available through South Caroliniana's
digital collections. Through these creative responses, the images
are not recovered or explained--but, rather, Found Anew.
