Synopsis: A seemingly forgotten moment in history, lost to time & left only as
the fragmented memories of those who lived it. A flash flood washes
through a small town trailer park, permanently altering the lives of
those who lived there. In “If I Forget Thee, Lowcountry,” poet
& flood survivor William James dredges up memories &
flashbacks, buried by a quarter-century of time, to share with the
reader not only the destructive force & waves of panic brought on by
the rush of water, but to celebrate the place of community &
belonging that was first lost, then reclaimed.
