These Our Offerings features the photographs of Selden B. Hill, Sharon Cumbee, Robert Epps, William P. Baldwin and the poems of William P. Baldwin. “The poems in These Are Offerings, A Place & Time of Southern Magic, are heartfelt, salt-tinged, rooted in place, and full of the kind of wisdom we expect from a life well lived. Each poem is a lyrical celebration of the ordinary, like the photographs that inspired them. Whether it’s a dog, a kiss, a boat, a garden; oysters, sea birds, creeks, or barbecues; shadows or clouds; a birthday or anniversary; each poem and photograph is a blessing that reminds us all that we have to be grateful for.” — Marjory Wentworth, South Carolina Poet Laureate.
