Meet the Author featuring Paul Grimsley

A wonderful new book: For more than sixty years, South Carolina poet Paul Stroud Grimsley has turned to poetry to make sense of the world around him and honor the people and places that have shaped his life.

Marsh Poems — and Other Southern Verses is a poetry collection rooted in the South Carolina coast, bringing together Southern poetry about love, family, friendship, faith, loss, memory, and reflection. Grimsley finds inspiration in the salt marshes and beaches, waterways and gardens, changing seasons, and quiet moments of everyday life.

From the Carolina coast to the people closest to him, these intimate and deeply personal poems celebrate the connections that endure: to the places we call home, the people we love, and the memories we carry with us.
