Dr. Andrea Wyman, Baron-Forness Library Faculty Baron-Forness Library Room 715 Literary places have long been of interest to readers and writers alike. But what makes a literary place? Is it the intrigue of the romantic site? The markets of London? The murky waterfront smells of Hong Kong? Anne Fadiman refers to a literary visual lens that provides you-are-there-reading to the audience with a visual, literary and even geographic mapping. This presentation will focus on the literary and visual GPS of Cross Creek in Central Florida; home to Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. When Rawlings engaged her audience, she did it with place from a descriptive perspective so clear and thorough that readers could envision the sights, sounds, smells and humidity of Cross Creek. Visual images will be added through photographs taken for the publication Marjorie's Cross Creek. A discussion of the process of writing Marjorie's Cross Creek will be included.
