“Show me the place.”
Duke Senior
in As You Like It (2.1)
88: Andalusia, the Home of Flannery O’Connor; Milledgeville, Georgia; June 12, 2004
Both Joyce and I love Flannery—
We’ve read her works from first to last.
And so it was we went to see
Her farm in Georgia—saw the past.
We toured the farm—the farmhouse, too.
And saw the place where she would write.
We felt the heat—enjoyed her view—
Were grateful for her special light.
We both taught works by Flannery—
And loved the questions that arose
From students—all the repartee—
And reveled in her priceless prose.
