Tom Poland was the featured author at Speaker @ the Center on Thursday, September 22. Join Pamela Hoppock and guest co-host Dr. Curtis Rogers as they sit down with Tom to listen to some of the stories from his new book, Georgialina. Tom is the author of 12 books and more than 1,000 magazine features. He contributed to the anthology, State of the Heart, SC Writers Write About Their Favorite Places, with a foreword by Pat Conroy and published by the University of South Carolina Press. “Tom Poland brings the fading and forgotten rural South back to life with a deeply felt reverence for the power of story to preserve our shared past. In these pages, we ride shotgun with Tom past covered bridges, tenant homes, country stores, and sweetgrass basket stands into a South that—like the Goat Man—we may never see again.”—Pat Conroy
