This book discussion features author Leslie Kemp Poole.
How has Florida’s land changed across five centuries? What has stayed the same, and what remains only in memory? From John Muir and Harriet Beecher Stowe to John James Audubon and Zora Neale Hurston, Poole explores journals and articles by the authors and retraces their steps, comparing the Florida that was to the Florida that exists now, telling a revealing story of the state’s natural history. Poole, a fourth-generation Floridian, is associate professor of environmental studies at Rollins College in Winter Park.
Florida Voices is generously supported by the Fred J. Brotherton Endowment for Literature, established at The Four Arts by the Fred J. Brotherton Charitable Foundation. Fred Brotherton, who died in 2003, was for many years a Benefactor of The Four Arts and a strong supporter of its programs. Florida Voices, featuring the state that was Mr. Brotherton’s winter home, serves as a continuing memorial to this much-respected member of The Four Arts.
