Description

In 2010, Eno Publishers, based in Hillsborough, North Carolina, published 27 Views of Hillsborough: A Southern Town in Poetry & Prose, with an introduction from Michael Malone and literary contributions from 27 writers that included Randall Kenan, Jill McCorkle, Craig Nova, and Jaki Shelton Green, among others. To have a town documented in so many genres by so many skillful practitioners from so many perspectives was a rare phenomenon.
