Garden of Eno

Garden of Eno follows various writers in Hillsborough, a small town tucked away under the bible belt. It seeks to understand what it was that attracted these famous writers to dwell here for decades. By telling the stories of these writers as well as the small town, a haven for the literary arts surfaces.

I would like to thank every writer who invited me into their homes and lives: Allan Gurganus, Steven Petrow, Eryk Pruit, Jill McCorkle, Lee Smith, Hal Crowther, Jack Bernhardt, Jaki Shelton Green, and Katy Zvolerin.

I would also like to especially thank Elizabeth Woodman from Eno Publishing and Sharon Wheeler from Purple Crow Bookstore for introducing me to the writer’s community at the very beginning of this project.
