Books
Love in the Age of Loneliness, Pendergraft’s second book of poetry, describes his biophilia, the term coined by Harvard naturalist Edward O. Wilson to describe one’s love of living things; plants, animals and people. His book shares his wide-eyed confrontation with environmental destruction and the loneliness that may be our response.
The Lowcountry is a chapbook written by Bill Pendergraft which captures in poems and photographs a bit of the plot, character and conflict of life in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
