This is a collection of poems about Charleston and the South Carolina Lowcountry. DuBose Heyward was a Charleston native best known for his novel <i>Porgy</i>, which was the basis for the Gershwin opera <i>Porgy and Bess</i>. Hervey Allen, who later wrote <i>Anthony Adverse</i>, met Heyward after moving to Charleston to teach. Together they founded the Poetry Society of South Carolina, which is still active today.
