Join us for a book talk with author Tom Poland and photographer Robert Clark. In their new book, South Carolina Reflections: A Photographic Journey, Tom and Robert showcase the state's awe-inspiring beauty from the Appalachians to the Atlantic.

The culmination of photographer Robert C. Clark and writer Tom Poland's three-decade collaboration, this keepsake book is a stirring visual tribute to one of America's most varied landscapes and favorite destinations. Clark and Poland present the geological grandeur, natural beauty, and cultural diversity the Palmetto State boasts across its 32,000 square miles. From angles high and low, the stunning color images illuminate the state's craggy summits, blackwater swamps, cascading waterfalls, and remote islands. The foreword by New York Times best-selling author Mary Alice Monroe complements the photographs and text. For visitors to the state and especially for generations of proud South Carolinians, South Carolina Reflections is a timeless portrait of the wonders of the Palmetto State.
