Abstract:
Why do so many writers come out of North Carolina? Ed Southern, executive director of the North Carolina Writer’s Network, attempts to answer this question in this article. He attributes the success of North Carolina to the Network, the “niceness” of North Carolinians, and the struggle between poverty and potential. He also states that in order to keep the title of “Writingest State”, North Carolina writers must encourage others to write the stories that they would like to write about, while demanding quality and perfection.

Abstract:
Carl Sandburg is perhaps widely known in the United States as a poet and lesser known as a writer of children’s stories. Perhaps better known by North Carolinians about Sandburg is Connamara, Greek Revival summer house in Flat Rock where he lived with his wife, who was just as well known in the community for her raising goats. This dwelling, built in 1839, is a National Historic site.
