On Wednesday, Oct. 14, Sullivan’s Island Elementary School will host Marjory Heath Wentworth, Poet Laureate of South Carolina, and the author of Noticing Eden and Despite Gravity.
She teaches poetry in an arts and healing program at the city’s Roper Hospital.
Wentworth lives in Mount Pleasant with her husband Peter and their three sons. Based on a true story, Shackles describes what happens when a group of young boys search for buried treasure in their backyard on Sullivan's Island, and dig up a bit of history — a set of shackles used centuries ago on slaves who were held on the island.
The festivity begins at 8 a.m.
