 In this poetry chapbook of 20 free verse poems, the author expresses her respect, appreciation, and unabashed love for the old Boyd mansion in Southern Pines, NC, now known as Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities, where writers go to write.What occurred over her three brief stays as a Writer-In-Residence there during fall, then winter of 2005, and spring of 2006 was the inspiration to convey her feelings about what she encountered there. Using her innate sensitivity and attention to detail, Sandra Ervin Adams takes the reader on a short tour of various spots both inside and out of the historic house, thereby creating certain moods.

The writer has been published in anthologies and literary journals, and is listed in A Directory of American Poets & Writers. In 2006 she authored a chapbook, Union Point Park Poems.  In 2008 she was mentored as an adult student poet in North Carolina’s Gilbert-Chappell Series and taught a poetry workshop at New Bern’s First Literary Symposium. This year she hosted a Poetry Cafe’ at New Bern’s Craven-Regional Library, and an Open Poetry Reading at Emerald Isle’s Parks & Recreation Department. She has been a freelance writer/columnist for newspapers, but her real love is for poetry. Her next poetry chapbook will be about the town of Swansboro and its people. Although Adams lives on the coast near Jacksonville, NC, she is very fond of the Sandhills.
