Abstract

Abstract:The author describes a journey to her home state of North Carolina from Vermont to find a more profound connection from which to draw for her environmental and fictional writing. Thinking of a place that she can call home, she drives through the state, specifically the Inner Banks region, while considering her personal experiences with the area and intimate understanding of its idiosyncrasies. She also contemplates the difficulty of portraying these elements and their complexities in a genuine way that is free of hyperbole. A particular focus is the area's environmental context and how it contributes to and is affected by climate change, which ultimately leads the author to a realization about her lack of true understanding of the Inner Banks, and the importance of learning about it in a more personal way.

内河岸:开车回家

摘要:作者描述了她从佛蒙特州回到家乡北卡罗来纳州的旅程，为她的环境和小说写作寻找更深刻的联系。考虑到一个她可以称之为家的地方，她开车穿过该州，特别是内河岸地区，同时考虑她在该地区的个人经历以及对其特质的亲密理解。她还思考了以一种真实而不夸张的方式描绘这些元素及其复杂性的困难。特别关注的是该地区的环境背景，以及它对气候变化的贡献和受气候变化的影响，这最终使作者意识到她对内河岸缺乏真正的了解，以及以更个人的方式了解它的重要性。

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
