Synopsis
Internationally acclaimed photographer Curt Richter was initially commissioned by Louis D. Rubin, Jr., to photograph the founding members of the Fellowship of Southern Writers. The first author to sit for him for the series was Eudora Welty and the last was Alice Walker. The project grew and, over a seven-year period, he photographed over two hundred writers associated with the South. Nearly one hundred of these images appear in A Portrait of Southern Writers, beyond any doubt the most stunning and significant collection of photographs of Southern writers ever gathered.

Synopsis
The American South has a passionate affinity with literature that no other region of the country can claim and its heritage is evoked and constantly reinvented through the words of its writers. Internationally acclaimed photographer Curt Richter was initially commissioned by Louis D. Rubin Jr. to photograph the founding members of the Fellowship of Southern Writers. The first author to sit for him for the series was Eudora Welty and the last was Alice Walker. The project grew and, over a seven-year period, he photographed over two hundred writers associated with the South. Nearly one hundred of these images appear in A Portrait of Southern Writers, beyond any doubt the most stunning and significant collection of photographs of Southern writers ever gathered. Richter does not focus his lens on capturing the totality of a writer's life but instead presents a moment of reflection in the face of the pressure of, and struggles with, creativity. What emerges is a collection of spectacular images which silently offer us insight into these writers' lives.
