In 2018, Megan Jones and Christopher Soucy were married in Forsyth Park in front of Savannah's iconic fountain. These two creatives - known locally and beyond for their ongoing support of the arts - then decided to combine their talents and craft this book as an ode to their love of Savannah and the city's past, present, and posterity. The alluring images in these pages provided the inspiration for the poems, through which Christopher Soucy weaves aspects of the past and the present specific to each square. Christopher is a playwright, poet, and screenwriter who settled in Savannah after a stint in the army. An eclectic storyteller, his tales span the genres of mystery, detection, comedy, satire, and the supernatural. He is also known for his theater projects such as Odd Lot Improv. Like Megan, Christopher can be found out and about in Savannah, contemplating the then and the now and shaping both old tales and new. His work draws from literature, life, history, a love of humanity, and certain idiosyncratic phobias (that may or may not involve clowns and haberdashery). Uniting both the personal and the professional, Megan's portraiture and Christopher's poetry capture life's ephemeral and enduring moments in art. Emotion and color, light and words, time and place . . . whether for visitor or resident, the squares of Savannah embolden and abide. See less
