"The Unpainted South: Carolina's Vanishing World"
This book of poetry, songs and photographs is a tribute to the faded glory of South Carolina’s rural past. It features haunting images of abandoned farmhouses, leaning tobacco barns, and boarded up redbrick towns of another era in Lowcountry South Carolina. Combined with powerful verse, these images inspire an appreciation for the often-overlooked region that is withering away.
Robert Cox NPR Interview
Award-winning journalist Robert Cox is called the hero of Argentine journalism. As the editor of the Buenos Aires Herald during the Dirty War of the 1970’s and 80’s, he risked his life to report kidnappings, torture and murder of thousands of Argentines by the military government. In Dirty Secrets, Dirty War, Cox's story is told by his son David who grew up under the pall of terrorism, but was inspired by his father's "great courage to write what was true."
