Southwest Georgia Passionate People

THE SPIRITED people of Southwest Georgia are fascinating.  People all over the Deep South [including the bizarre Atlanta area] have very little awareness of the remarkable denizens of sw ga.  These wild and tough culture real Georgia men and women have an artistic emotionalism that is hard to figure.  My town of Cairo had many feisty art souls,  We did plays like 'The Boor' By Chekov and many moons ago there was a poignant and good interpretation of the Tennessee Williams classic 'The Glass Menagerie.'  It has always amused me how some arty clever personas all want to look down on my people as looney 'Mencken-Style' 'Sahara of the Bozart People.  The truth is...the folks of Southwest Georgia are marvelous individualists who know how to have energetic, good lives.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
