“Between Two Rivers,” Tallahassee, 2011

If you haven’t read the collection of stories in Between Two Rivers, you are missing some mighty fine tales about the Red Hills Region around Tallahassee. The 29 local writers—artists, scientists, academics, political reporters—reveal the remarkable environmental history of the Florida between the Ochlockonee River on the west and the Aucilla River on the east. The varied short stories celebrate the region where bears walk on Gulf beaches, Monarch butterflies migrate by the millions, old growth long leaf pine plantations entertain wealthy outdoorsy types like Ted Turner, and wild spring-fed rivers are never far away. In these pages some of the region’s funniest and most-insightful writers also help you warm up to the region’s quirky character and explain the back stories relating to the region’s southern accent. For me, the place between those two rivers is a home fire where people actually use front porch swings to read. And maybe because of that, it’s a place where artists help the region remember where and who they are.
