Full Description

This anthology examines the life and selected works of North Carolina's most distinguished playwright of the 20th century, Paul Green (1894-1981). 

Paul Green is best known for his outdoor historical dramas, which are still performed across the United States. However, he was not only a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, but was also an activist committed to human rights, racial equity, prison reform, and ending the death penalty. This anthology includes frank reflections from an award-winning array of contemporary North Carolina writers. Their essays about Green's work and relationships are meant to launch new conversations about a man who was seen as progressive, even radical, in his time. Included writers: Margaret Bauer, Jim Grimsley, Lynden Harris, Marjorie Hudson, Kathryn Hunter-Williams, Jill McCorkle, Ray Owen, Phillip Shabazz, Mike Wiley, ​​and others.
