Info

February is for poets Every month is a celebration of sorts. In fact virtually every day is a celebration – there are so many organizations that want to claim their day, some serious (National Organ Donor Day) and some silly (National Baked Alaska Day!) and they want to make sure there’s a moment to reflect on anything and everything important. What’s nice about February is that we have a month to celebrate our Bluffton past. Not many people know too much about the Gullah’s, but their culture carries on. We hear interesting factoids, and meet people who proudly reference their lineage. Then we have the physical presence, the Garvin House for one, which is being recognized in this issue, through poetry. Of course February is for lovers. Or maybe not. Valentine’s Day is so commercialized that every kid in every class ends up with pounds of chocolates, reams of cards and, in fairness, develops their artistic skills along the way. But wasn’t Valentine’s Day once about passion, secret love, and total devotion? Some of us still think in that vein, and we feature the relevant poetry of one of the most famous Scottish baird. So as the winter chill comes to its end, it’s a great month to sit by the fire and contemplate our past. And it’s certainly a good month to warm our hearts and those of others, by reminding the ones we truly love that our devotion is eternal!
