Tim Conroy, South Carolina poet and brother of beloved novelist and longtime Lowcountry resident Pat Conroy, will explore the power of writing to help us withstand and ultimately understand family conflict. In his presentation, “Family Secrets/Family Truths: Writing out of the Shadow of the Great Santini,” Tim will talk about how Pat pieced together family secrets into healing family truths through the power of writing, with focus on the tour de force autobiographical novel, The Great Santini, about an abusive Marine fighter-pilot father’s reign of terror over his family. He will recount his own version of Conroy family secrets and how he now uses poetry as a means for expressing his vision of the family truths.

A Public Conversation with Cassandra King About Pat Conroy
(Originally broadcast 03/17/17) – In the Fall of 2016, the Newberry Opera House, in
partnership with the Pat Conroy Literary Center, presented a special night in honor
of the late author, Pat Conroy. The evening featured Conroy's widow and fellow
novelist Cassandra King interviewed by Walter Edgar, and was presented in benefit
of the Pat Conroy Literary Center. Note: The last eight minutes I read a remarkable
letter written by my brother Pat during the summer of his first year of teaching at
Beaufort High School. If you have time, listen to the entire broadcast.

Dr. Kasie Whitener interviewed me on 100.7 for her patron funded talk show called, Writeon SC.
It was broadcasted on The Point 100.7 FM on March 16, 2019. It was an honor to be on her show. Her
radio show highlights writers and poets across South Carolina. Kasie is a hell of a writer and forward-
thinking entrepreneur. It was a pure joy to chat with her. Give this show a listen.
